Mail from Ngurunit

Nearly two years after ESHA's trip to Kenya, there are still some meaningful postscripts. Here's one:























The Pike School's communication with Ngurunit Primary School was answered in the fall with 23 pages of letters and captioned photos as well as disposable cameras containing additional shots. The correspondence included a description of the Ngurunit school, typical schedule and routines, favorite studies -- and even a few book recommendations.

The package made its way from northern Kenya to the U.S. in the hands of Kathleen Colson of the BOMA Project, who then shipped it from Vermont to Massachusetts. Muddy Waters received the package and shared its contents in a series of three school assemblies at Pike.

How nice to see this project come full circle -- and three cheers for all the individuals who made it possible!
