Kenya - Traveling to Narok

Today was a fantastic day for many reason, personally and for the group. We started the day at the Grace House then ventured out into that Maasai Mara to Narok. There were lots of beautiful sites we saw on the way here including mountains, volcanoes, and lots of baboons. We took a break an hour into the trip at the top of a mountain to take pictures of the valley and to walk around some. Shortly after, we ventured to a boarding high school.

Upon arrival we were greeted nicely by the principal and staff of the Eor-Ekule high school. Collectively there are about 600 students and 30 teachers. The school splits up the boys and the girls so they study separately. After that we went over and spoke to the boys at the school grades freshman-senior. It was a fast and fantastic day and we are in good hands at Bishop James' home.

Now personally this is where the story got crazy. I spoke to the guy students about innovation within the classroom and starting this new way of thinking  within themselves. It was an honor doing this because I speak about the same things back in the U.S. Right after I was done presenting the principal was  speaking to the students and felt called enough to start this innovation and open source learning. So it was a blessing being able to start that in this school. That is a summed up story but I'm excited for these next 8-9 days.
