Hello Kent Place Families and Friends! I know you've all been anxious to hear from your world travelers! I can report that everything is going well and that they've been having some trouble with their internet connections. They've sent us a few blog posts that they've written from a field which I'm happy to share with you. If you have any questions, please call World Leadership School at (303)679-3412.
Thanks,
Christina Martin
Program Coordinator, World Leadership School
Today, March 11th, was our first day at the
Faraja School. Everyone’s excitement was palpable on the bumpy drive to school.
There were already smiling faces the minute we drove in to the driveway. Many
children were walking by and waving, and some of the members of our service
team recognized them from the past service trips to Tanzania. We had the
opportunity to work with the kids in their classrooms. We noticed that all of
the children were very eager to learn despite their physical disabilities. We
also noticed drastic differences between Kent Place School’s school supplies
and Faraja’s school supplies. After
working with the kids, we moved onto beginning our service project. The field that they showed us was divided
into sections that we each worked on. We
started to cut into the soil and dig large trenches around the area that would
serve as the storage unit’s foundation. It was hard work and tiring when the dust
bothered our eyes and the sun heated our backs, but at the end of the day, we
realized that it was so much fun because we were doing it together. We can’t
wait to go back tomorrow!
From,
Natasha and Zoe on behalf the KPS Tanzania Travel Team
