“Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” **Margaret Mead
This week the RDC Teaching Team wrapped up its Project KiTE program: Kenya Teacher Education, a professional development inservice for Kenyan teachers. In total, three professional development workshops were delivered to teaching teams at Male School, the orphanage schools of EAMO and Ian Castleman’s, and Ringa School. The primary focus of these sessions was on helping the Kenyan teachers recognize the good aspects of their own teaching while developing new approaches to teaching in areas such as assessment, planning, and instructional strategies.

Now that the group is gone things are quiet. It has been good to have Jocelyn and Stu, ABW Project Managers travelling on a slightly different schedule but meeting with me to review projects at various locations. Their primary purpose was to review the Kendu Bridge project.
Stu did a site review with John Otieno Mayor of Kendu Bay for the Nyangajo Foot Bridge project - budget, timelines, and bridge plans/specifications confirmed & agreed to. Stu MacPhail on behalf of his family presented a cheque for initial payment to David Engineering with bridge committee in full attendance - fabrication of the decking has begun at their site in Nairobi and the project is scheduled for completion by end August.

Not Everyone is happy to leave Kenya. I am hearing that most have had a great time in Kenya. We began our trip back at 8 AM. Our first stop was at the Irbaan School. This school was built by the members of the Balmoral Bible Chapel in Red Deer.
While the students spent time with the children several of us inspected classrooms and a small team met with the administration to discuss the future needs.
