Secondary Learning
As the group stood up and started singing, it was obvious that everyone knew the song. The song was a song about malaria which they had learned from our MT4 players distributed among the Samburu. They said it was one of their favorites and that everyone in the village now knows the song. What is remarkable is that not everyone … Continue reading

Let me sing you a song…
“What did you think about the new movie last night?” “Well, I can’t say exactly, so let me sing you a song and perform a drama to answer your question.” That exchange probably would never happen in America (unless you are acting in the latest High School Musical movie), but it is what happened to us recently in northwest Kenya. … Continue reading
