Kenyan Chef's Spices up Local Gathering
Penina, a Kenyan Chef from Worcester provided spicy goat, chopped greens, and samosa's at a local backyard event. We were able to share the success of our Kenyan partners, and drawings presented by. Andrew Sidford and Cynthia Schartman (Andrew Sidford Architects) with potential layouts for our emerging Community Learning Center on a beautiful hilltop in Bukokholo, Bungoma County Kenya.
The spaces that we rented for our students did not meet the needs of a growing group of students. They requested quiet study rooms, a lab for computers, and a space for younger children to sit together on chairs that fit them. We are working with Andrew Sidford Architects to design an multi-room flexible space with air and sunlight, made with local green materials. The students have begun planting trees and a garden on the land.
