Welcome from Edwin
We are hoping to lead the way in school partnerships with other schools in other parts of the world. I have two schools in mind. Sinyolo Girls High School, PO Box 979, Kisumu, Kenya and Kawino Secondary School, PO Box 34 Darajambili- Kisumu, Kenya. These schools will be happy to start correspondence with other schools anywhere in the world for purposes of exchanging information on the environment.We will be aiming at creating environmental awareness using schools as our main focus. Possible projects will be tree planting, cultural exchanges,energy and community support projects. Teachers have a big role to create awareness and promote students involvements in environmental issues. Teachers who will involve in this, stand a chance of developing professionally as the exchange of information and visits will provide them with excellent exposure to different teaching methodologies and learning styles. Exchanges act as motivation to pupils and teachers.
We will be using the existing structures like the Kisumu Link and Sister Cities, Supaken and the Municipal Council to achieve these goals. It is good to involve school governors and the school community for the impact to be felt effectively. We could start small with simple exchange of letters and e mails. Already I have got interests from Fabio in Brazil and a school in Leicester-UK, two Universities in America, College in Russia, two schools in Gloucestershire and a college in Torun. We will be giving the relevant addresses in this space soon.
