Kenya in a nutshell...

Hi, my name is Cameron Piltz. I have been here with the team since mid June. It has been an amazing and crazy journey. There is no possible way for me to describe how amazing this place is in a single post but I'll tell you a little about what I have been doing. I have been spending the majority of my time at Oasis of Hope and Wamalwa Kijana Memorial School in Simo La Tewa. Oasis of hope has definitely stolen my heart. It is those most thorough and complete programs for street kids in Kitale. It doesn't just give them food and a place to be but sets them up for a bright future by preparing them to enter formal school and later to enter into the workforce. I have also been teaching a few classes at a secondary school in Shimo La Tewa. The kids there are amazing and although it is a tiny school that is just starting out the staff has a lot of passion. Me and Joel Dievendorf have also worked on a yearbook for the school so that they can remember us and their first official school year well after we leave. I hope you like my very short summary of my amazing adventure this summer... that's my Kenya in
a nutshell...
