Secondary School Students at Kwala

Students welcome us with singing school anthem and doing a call and response about their commitment to academics and their school vision. Regardless of what they may lack, as having school supplies or enough space and teachers, there was an energy there that I don't often see in American classrooms.  English is taught as a separate class in primary school, where all the other subjects are taught in Swahali.  Once entering secondary school all subjects are taught in English.  Now, what are our kids complaining about?

Afterwards students took us for a tour of their village and we ended up planting fruit trees we bought for them so they could remember the fruitfulness of our visit.
