Week 8: Teaching at local schools


This week we got the chance to teach life skills in Machakos local schools. Two of my peers and I presented on the topic of “how to care for a sick person” to form 7 which is middle school students and to form 4 which are high schools seniors. It was great experience, the students were very excited to meet and we were excited to be there. They sang us a song and they asked us to sing so my peers sang the American anthem, it was actually pretty good.
We also had our final LPI exams this week so it was a very stressful week for most of us. We all passed and we will all swear in next Wednesday!!!! 

Another mob justice story for you guys. This time it took place in my host family neighborhood. Some guys followed a woman who owns a shop to her house because he wanted to rob her. So, after she got into the house, he pointed a toy gun at her and demanded for money. The woman shouted in specific way (Kenyan have specific screaming sound that indicates danger) and then men from the neighborhood came and rescued the woman. Once again they stoned this man to death and also burnt him just incase! After talking with my host family they said Kenyans believe that mob justice send strong message to all the people that ever try to steal. Once again, according to Kenyan justice was served.
