Enock goes to school in Kenya!

I decided I wanted to have a career in education after spending time teaching in Kenya back in 2007 at Epico Jahns Academy.

In every class I have ever taught since, I have always included some of my African experiences. You can teach children about the world but unless they can strongly relate to it in some way the effectiveness is massively reduced. Maintaining these links has benefited children on both continents tremendously.

Karibu Childcare now sponsors a child at Epico Jahns Academy. We are funding Enock's full time education and also his medical expenses, lunches, school books and his school uniform. The Headteacher, Betty Lubanga (or 'Mama Betty' as she tends to be known) tells me that Enock loves school, is trying so hard and extremely proud of his new school uniform!

As Mr Mandela once said 'education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world'.

Enjoy the start of term Enock.
