Kenya trip begins to take shape

The possibility of an ESHA travel program was suggested at ESHA's first strategic planning meeting for members in October 2008. This idea was met initially with abstract enthusiasm and was then kept in the backs of our minds as we worked to expand ESHA services in other areas.

In October 2009, Joseph Lekuton -- teacher, author, and member of Kenya Parliament -- inspired many of the attendees at the Annual ESHA Conference with his personal story. And then he invited us to visit Kenya!

ESHA member Laurel Seid, The Little School (WA), took this invitation to heart and agreed to step up to coordinate ESHA's first travel program. As of this writing, Laurel has purchased tickets for four of us to travel to Kenya for a service project and safari -- an experience to take place from July 25 to August 11, 2010. Can't wait!
