Kuja pamoja!

Kuja Pamoja means "coming together" in Kiswahili

and today was a time for the children of Rosslyn Academy to

come together with children of the Eastleigh Community Centre

The two first grade classes of Rosslyn Academy loaded into two buses and followed Erica and I into work this morning to join the primary classes at the community centre for a time of reading and learning together. As part of their visit, the first grade students from RA each brought a favorite book to read to a younger primary student.

A group of Rosslyn and Eastleigh students quite interested in the fiery red "spider ants" -- some things are just universal!

The elementary science teacher, who organized the visit with Erica, also had the students visit the pottery ministry where they are having their own little pots fired in the kiln. James, the director of Eastleigh Pottery, showed the children the process of making pottery and introduced them to the water filter project. After the official visit, many of the Rosslyn students had a chance to play with some of the Eastleigh kids.

Tutaonana!

"See you again!"
