For those who are interested.

Hey all! If you’re here, you probably want to hear about my trip to Kenya this upcoming summer. If not, venture elsewhere, dear traveler. 
This summer I’m working with Nairobi Chapel and three schools in the area. I’ll be working in Nairobi, in Kawangware, and in Kibera. 
Kawangware and Kibera are slums in the outskirts of Nairobi, the capitol city. Nairobi Chapel runs a school in Nairobi and has many connections outside of the city. I’ll be working in those schools— through the chapel.
I’ll be there a total of 8 weeks— from May 28-July 24. During that time I’ll be observing in the schools, talking with principals and leaders of schools, and teaching. I want to find the strengths and weaknesses of the education system in Nairobi and the surrounding areas to possibly work with them in the future. At the very least, I want to be able to take what I’m learning from the slums of Kenya and implement it when I teach (wherever that is)
Disclaimer: once I get to Kenya, I probably won’t be updating much. I will try to when I can, but don’t wait with baited breath!
I am on a scholarship to do this, so I don’t need financial support. I would, however, ask for support in the prayer realm. If you would be willing to pray for me as I travel and interact, I would be so grateful! 
Also, let me know if there are any questions you want me to address (either about the trip or school systems or if there’s a question you want me to ask while I’m over there)?
