I have been tutoring the children in English. Kiswahili and English are Kenya's official languages, but in rural areas like Oyuma, they are often neglected in schools where teachers are more comfortable speaking in their mother tongue. Here's a picture of me tutoring our children in preschool through second grade. Because they don't return to school after lunch, I get to tutor them every afternoon. The small children are a big change from the high schoolers I'm used to teaching, but they're so much fun! They're like sponges; they soak everything up, and they love to learn.
