Although it was far too brief, it was great fun to visit DC and reunite with Steven, Laurel, and Claudia. A highlight of the trip for me was our trip to The Harbor School. We were warmly welcomed by Head of School, Val Wise. I helped Steven with his transformation from jeans and fleece to the traditional dress of northern Kenya. He met with kindergartners and first graders, and they were equally enthralled with his presentation.
After Steven told them about life in Kenya as he explained his PowerPoint presentation, the children were able to try on a variety of authentic bracelets and necklaces and be wrapped in kangas. The hands-on experience was a wonderful way to engage the children. It was really exciting to watch the children at Harbor learn about another culture in another part of the world.
