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 at Kawelu Primary
I have spent the last couple two days visiting Kawelu Primary School outside of Makindu, Kenya. The students are absolutely wonderful. They have been waiting for me, and they have prepared some dances for me. I am one of the guests of honor at their fundraiser, which is called a Harambee. When we first pulled up at the school, the children ran over to us and completely surrounded our car. They were amazed to see me. Their greeting was incredible. Wherever I walked around their campus, there was an entorage of students following me, or peeping through windows trying to get a look at me. I have to say that this experience is quite humbling. I am not used to people making a big deal over me.
