After being welcomed by a choir of beautiful African songs, the students paired up with delegates and took them on a personalized tour of the school. We returned for afternoon tea and then the students took their delegate pairs to one of their classes. It was an amazing experience- new friendships formed with the students and staff. Overall, a very touching highlight of the trip. With their school uniforms, smiling faces, and very articulate English (which is not their mother tongue), it is hard to believe these students come from such disadvantaged families. We hope, because of the investment they are making in their math/science education, the future will be a bright one for these remarkable students!
I tried to get photos of all the delegates with their student guides as I passed you in thehallways. Sorry if I missed some of you. If you want to download the photo of you with your guide, go to: http://picasaweb.google.com/pagekeeley/StudentToursAtLeap#
