Goal: To build friendship, collaboration, and a community of support
between Bodwell High School and three schools in Kenya: Maai Mahiu,
Karima, and Longonot Secondary Schools.
|
Welcome to Urafiki Link!
The Urafiki link was started in 2007
when, with the support of the administration, a teacher at Bodwell High
School organized a trip to Maai Mahiu, Kenya in August 2007. Building
upon the connections made by the five Bodwell Volunteers, Ms. Mali Bain
is volunteering in Kenya from September to November 2007. The vision of
the Urafiki Link is to connect Bodwell with secondary schools in Kenya,
allowing for mutual exchange and collaboration.
