Parkway Middle School will be working hand in hand with Kawelu Primary School in Makindu, Kenya. I will be going to Kenya in June 2010, and I will deliver supplies, letters and funds that will be donated from Parkway Middle School and the Osceola County School for the Arts. We are on a mission to help our students understand what it means to do service for one another, and to plant the seed of charity in their hearts.

I Am Learning Everyday.
Working with this project has been an eye opener to me. I have learned a lot about the life of our friends in Makindu, Kenya. Every communication with Principal Muoki educates me about the life of the people in Makindu, and I in return try to educate him about the lives of the people in the US, and about the educational system in America. It has really been enlightning.
One of the things that I have come to learn is how incredibly blessed we really are to be living here in the US. We have everything at our fingertips. I have a computer at work and a laptop at home. I can easily lay on the couch or in my bed when I want to check my emails. This is not so for the people in Makindu. They have to travel to the nearest cyber cafe to get online, and then they can only use the service if the electricity is up and running. They have rolling blackouts there to preserve energy. We really have nothing to complain about.
