Kenya

We completed our journey to Kenya. Highlights were tribal beading and dancing, the annual great migration, and Wangari’s Green Belt Project. The amazing books Millie found provided natural segues to discussions about race. We are lucky to have our neighbor kids, who are part of our quaren-team, join us for some lessons.
