Narratives from an Excursion to Grapesyard School in Korogocho Slum, Nairobi: Reflections and Perspectives on Education, Community Spirit and Resilience
In March 2016, a delegation of English instructors from Japanese universities attended an international conference in Nairobi, Kenya and visited a local school in the outlying slum neighborhood of Korogocho to observe students in their classrooms, visit homes and explore the local community. They also delivered donated laptop computers to help establish a digital textbook computer laboratory to enhance the children’s learning opportunities. This report is a compilation of narratives of the trip from the delegation and offers individual perspectives and reflections on education, resilience and the spirit of the school and surrounding community
