Yumbuni Secondary School
My Form 2 students in their classroomOn February 6th, 2008 I wrote in my journal "...hopefully I will be living this life in just a few months. I don't want to leave Kenya, but I must. I have hope and faith that I will be returning soon. But, deep inside I don't see the political situation improving anytime in the near future and fear my return will not be possible." Fortunately my return is possible. Peace has resumed in the country and I will be re-entering tomorrow to continue teaching at Yumbuni Secondary School.
After being home for four months it was a difficult decision to return to Kenya. I loved teaching high school biology and anatomy physiology here in America and found it difficult to decide whether I should return or not. But, every time I thought about it I saw the smiling faces of my students at Yumbuni and remembered my promise to return to continue to teach them.
My bags are packed...and I am ready to go.
