Columbia University Students Volunteer in Kenya

Dear Scott,

Jambo!

Hannah, Grace, and I are having a great time here in Kenya. Our coordinator is wonderful. The children at the school are so intelligent and super cute. The school definitely needs a lot of work though. They are working on a new building for the primary kids and it’s coming along – slowly.

Today I took a break from helping out the teachers and instead helped install a door frame with one of the other volunteers. I felt quite accomplished when we finished.

This upcoming week I will be doing more physical labor – working on installing three more doors and such – while Grace and Hannah continue to help out in the classroom.

I hope all is well on your end. Let us know if you will be coming to visit! We will definitely keep in touch.

Thanks for everything.

Best,
Melissa
