Teach and care in Kenya

Written by Rachel McGahey August to September 2007

I had no idea how rewarding teaching could be until I started teaching here. I have never met children who are so eager to learn. This eagerness really motivates you to try your hardest to find sponsors and donors to help the children’s families pay for them to come to school and for the school to carry on educating them. You know that you are living and working in a poor area but until you actually visit some of the families you have no idea how difficult it is for them."
