@Lowburn Kenya 84-86 Taught Science & Math at a Harambee Girls School about 1:40 north of Nairobi. Helped build a wood fired oven, plant eucalyptus trees to combat deforestation and erosion. One of the best times in my life. Harbari Wazungu!

@Lowburn I wish I had a picture of them, I got Texas Instruments to donate 25 of the first solar powered calculators to my school. They came through diplomatic pouch. Also a small science lab and library funded by a women's group. My site was chosen to host a delegation of women attending the NGO conference in Nairobi. Good times. But, there were some spooky times as well.
