The
RWI team spent an exciting day installing 3 bio-sand filters at the
Teret Secondary School. In front of an attentive audience of 200 high school students, the
RWI team talked about the value of education and the impact it had in their own lives. Each
RWI student told her personal story and talked about the impact of education on her life. With stories from Iraq, India, and the USA, the Kenyan Students were each able to find something to relate to. The questions, while courteous and respectful, dug deep into the financial and personal issues that all students faced in pursuing education. Most exciting was the mob scene (pictured) after the formal presentation. For over an hour the Kenyan students swarmed the
CSU students asking questions about school, health, politics, geography, etc. And at least 1000 different pictures with all possible combinations of groups! It was so exciting to see the open and frank questions asked, and the
insightful responses given. I don't think either group of students will forget this day for a long time to come.
