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!

Shout out to Jerald Waithaka

Shout out to Jerald Waithaka for the library of photographs he recently took of our Kenyan NRCF program, some of which we used in our 2015 Annual Report and in many of the posts you have seen online recently. Jerald was sponsored by Sarah McKenzie and recently graduated from our post-secondary program where he earned his diploma in graphic design and photo/video production.

Asante Sana (Thank You) to LuminFire

We extend a sincere thank you to the LuminFire team for their integral role in launching our amazing new website! Our goal was to create a mobile-friendly, photo-rich site that helps us tell our stories and is easy to maintain. Nick, Michael, and Marty helped us find just the right platform and design–we couldn’t be more excited about it.  You guys truly do create brilliant solutions. Thank you for all your efforts and for being so generous with your time. There’s more to come too–one feature under development that we plan to launch this fall is a login for sponsors that provides access to pictures, assessments, and news about their students. Check out our new website today and stay tuned for more! (and if you ever need help with your own technology, check out LuminFire!)
