WUCST

The third phase of our journey commenced this week with a flight from Mauritius to Nairobi. After a few days in the capital, we bused to the western Kenyan town of Kakamega. This is where Anita's father is a Professor of History at Western University College of Science and Technology.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to tour the campus and meet several of the faculty. The school was recently raised from a regional college to a national university, and therefore is in the process of expanding the curriculum, faculty, facilities and student base. Many of the people we met had either taught with, or learned from, Anita's father at other Kenyan universities over the past 20+ years.
