Not really but I was a young teacher with very limited classroom experience. You know what they say - those who can’t do, teach and those who can’t teach, teach PE :-)

The football team was given to me because I was young, idealistic and would say yes to pretty much any request! I even remember volunteering to invigilate and mark additional exams - that doesn’t happen anymore!

I was there for 6months as a volunteer teacher at school mainly teaching History and Geography but we were also helping develop and teach a curriculum around HIV/AIDS awareness because the disease is rampant in that that area.

Yeah, I did a fair bit of travelling around and visited Masai Mara and Amboseli National Parks.

I’ve got a few good sporting stories to tell including an attempted match fix in one of the local football tournaments we entered! Probably deserves its own blog sometime.

Doesn’t surprise me about the Kenyan athletes coming over to dominate those events. A few years of the students were hoping to get sports scholarships to continue their education in Western countries, it’s a real game changer for the whole family!
