Life as a Student – Lunch & Learn – Part 2

Join the Zoom

Scroll to the bottom to RSVP.

Join Us Wednesday, Oct 12 11:30am (Central)

We heard your positive feedback about our educational event last month and want to continue to offer sponsors and donors the opportunity to enhance their experience and bond with their students by learning more about their day-to-day lives. This educational event will continue our series on “Life as a Student” in our program. 

This Lunch and Learn will focus on what it’s like to be a student in Kenya. You will learn in more detail about the primary and secondary schools with whom we work, what attending school in the slums is like, and how schools compare with those in the U.S. We will also share how post-secondary education is conducted in Kenya and how vastly different the experience is than college in the States. 

Life for our students living in the slum

Last month we hosted our first educational event which went into detail about living in the slum of Dagoretti. We learned where our students live geographically and heard firsthand stories from sponsors who have visited Dagoretti about what the slum is like. For those of you who missed the last event, click here to watch the recording.

We know sponsors and donors enjoy learning more about how our students live and how their support is making a life-changing difference to our students!   

RSVP now or come back and click the button on our Events page at the start of the event.

See you then!
