Kampala, Uganda

It's been another wonderful few days working with students, but this time at Cambridge International School Kampala.  


I also had the honor of visiting one of the African Dream Schools.  Here are a few pictures of my visit. 

Driving through the rain.

39 students are boarders.  This is the girl bunk.

With the Head Mistress.
The Elementary School classrooms. 

Another view of the school as we were driving away.  The chalk board has the student attendance.

Along the railroad tracks.
My dinner - beef stew and smashed bananas.

Nairobi, Kenya

I am so honored to be invited to Kenya and Uganda this week to work with students at the GEMS Cambridge International School campuses in Nairobi and Kampala.  Here are a few pictures of my travels, but I don't take pictures of students...so it will look like I just vacationed but I promise that I didn't. 

My hotel room (bottom right) at the Karen Residences.
I worked with students at GEMS Cambridge International School Nairobi.
During lunch one day, I ran over to the baby elephant sanctuary and I ran into these adorable warthogs.  Pumba!
I was so fortunate to visit this baby elephant sanctuary.




My favorite sign!
A scene from the road in Nairobi.
At the recycled glass factory.
The funky grounds of the glass factory.

We headed across the suspension bridge from the glass factory to Nairobi Wildlife Preserve.
Yes, we walked through the game park.  I was terrified but all we saw were these cute animals.  No lions!
The National Park sign.
See, I was there!

Throw Back to Spring Break

I was looking at the photos on my phone and found this awesome pictures from when the Kowalec's visited Dubai in March!  This is a crazy selection of my favorite photos!
Of course, you have to ride a camel in the desert.



We made the besties ride too!


There has to be a falcon!
Sandboarding!

Riding the Dhow Boat with the locals is something every visitor to Dubai must do!

And to the aquarium.

We even got to see King Croc.
And some fun camping in the desert.
And the whole group.
The beautiful Burj!
The Grand Mosque.
Beauty inside the Mosque.
And take the obligatory jumping photo in front of Legoland Dubai.



At the old fort.
