Making History in Africa






Making educational videos has come to be my way of teaching where a new generation absorbs and access media. Sooo... I took my cameras, with the prospect of finishing a video on the important work that WCA is doing in the next few months. Some of my previous DVDs on diversity can be accessed by clicking the title of this post and in the mean time, this blog has become a fascinating way of compiling notes and photos of some of what went on.


Among the best experiences was seeing USIU Nairobi, the private University my aunt Lillian spent 18 years helping to build. The Library named in her honor is part of hundreds of acres of land, and now boasts 37,000 students. Standing in the Head Librarian's office with Dr. Sophia Kaane made the visit very memorable.


There were numerous highlights, too immense to be counted and yet the whole experience has made me feel small and humble in God's world of diverse and amazing people.

Above is a monument to President Jomo Kenyatta, a photo of a "clean water" truck, two of our guides, Mike and Richard. There's Me and Aundre at breakfast in Mombasa; and three WCA members in their T-shirts: Reverend Anthony Hughes, his wife Rev. Dee, and Aundre.
