Cultural exchange was one of main emphases of the trip, especially on the cultural da. For the cultural day, we prepared songs and skits to perform for them. The Moding students, likewise, prepared many forms of entertainment for us. Practiced only for an hour, we performed different songs and skits in front of 400 people!

Spirit of Kenya: Part II
Moding High School is the partner school of EHS in Kenya. Expecting shyness and non-advanced technology/academics, I was totally shocked when I first arrived at their school. As we arrived and introduced ourselves, we’re paired with one or two students each. My guides were John and Emmanuel. They were both in Form I (freshmen). They took me around the campus for a tour and also met other students in the school. The students were so enthusiastic and happy to see us in their school. Many of them came rushing to me, trying to say “habari”, “how are you”… I also sat down to have a chat with the students, and they would ask all kinds of questions, trying to learn more about the foreign culture. We also had the opportunity to visit their classes. I was shocked and impressed by their academic knowledge and how much work they had.

Spirit of Kenya: Part I
Kenya. Before this trip, this country sounded so unfamiliar to me. Locating to the west of the Horn of Africa, it borders Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. After 30+ hours of travel, I arrived in Nairobi then travelled to Amagoro the following morning, along with my friends from school.
