http://www.bluegecko.org/kenya/kenya.htm

Extractions: click map to enter Since the arrival of the Europeans in Kenya in the mid-nineteenth century, the traditional cultures of Kenya's tribes have been undergoing a period of massive - and often devastating - change. This website is a multimedia encyclopaedia dedicated to Kenya's people: twelve of a planned forty Kenyan tribes are currently covered in detail, each with extensive sections covering their history (both written and oral), society and customs, way of life, religion and cosmological beliefs, fables and legends, riddles and proverbs, and - of course - music and dance. The 500 pages of text (a fraction of the two thousand projected for mid-2004) are accompanied by over 230 photographs and six hours of music. Welcome to Kenya!

Extractions: Since 2003, the 28-year-old has been president of the board of Global Deaf Connection, an organization that provides scholarships and sign language interpreters for deaf adults in developing countries. Recently, Martin led a team of volunteers to Kenya, where they worked with administrators, sign language interpreters and deaf students at a teacher's college. "I got to know many of the students personally. Even though we grew up in vastly different countries, we share many of the same stories because we are deaf. At the same time, we have many differences because the Kenyan deaf education system has lagged behind ours. None of the students at college now had teachers who could sign fluently, and their education suffered. But now, with these deaf students pioneering the way for future children, that work will continue to change deaf education in Kenya.

Registered users should log in to view the full essay Other positive repercussions of tourism, though, include a decrease in death rate by 5% in 20 years, as the improvement of services for tourists also benefit natives and the money the tourists bring is spent on health care and infra structures. A negative statistic, however, is a fall in birth rate by 3% in 20 years, already a low populated country it is worrying to think that many Kenyan youths are leaving for Europe with the tourists. This is yet again another example of the direct loss of Kenyan culture through tourism. On the other hand, though, the question must be asked whether without the money brought by tourism, Kenyan culture would be able to survive at all. What are the environmental effects of tourism in Kenya?

The following are excerpts from their journals recounting personal reactions to experiences in each of the five program locations: Nairobi, Naivasha, Mombasa, Malindi, and Lamu. Arrival (June 21, 2002) Nairobi, Kenya. Here I am. Despite slight difficulties getting here (missing my flight mainly), the calmness and mentality of this place has made me forget about the chaos that occurred in New York and Amsterdam. It has this serene vibe in the air and just in general with this program. I still am in awe of being here and am trying to capture every image, every noise, every smell and every thought that is crossing my path. Today was our first full day in Nairobi. After all these years of learning and reading about this city, it is hard to believe I'm actually here. Nairobi sort of reminds me a little bit of Xi'an and Beijing?Iperhaps because all of these cities are developing cities in third world counties, which means that they inherently have similarities.

There are no prerequisites although students with no background in the study of Africa will be provided with a suggested reading list before embarking on the program. This program, while certainly well suited for students headed for or majoring in humanities or social sciences, should also accommodate those students whose major requirements do not allow them to be absent from campus for a full semester or academic year (particularly students from pre-professional and natural science disciplines).

For visitors, this striking cultural mix is one of the pleasures of visiting the country. For Kenyans, it has, in the past, presented some problems as various groups vied for power and territory. There are more than 70 tribal groups among the Africans in Kenya. Distinctions between many of them are blurred - western cultural values are becoming more ingrained and traditional values are disintegrating. Yet, even though the average African may have outwardly drifted away from tribal traditions, tribe is still the most important part of a person's identity.

Extractions: Tuesday, April 26, 2005, at 1:35 AM PT The post-run stretching post In Iten, Kenya, we come to St. Patrick's High School grove of champions. Any alumnus who sets a world record or wins an Olympic or world championship has a tree planted here in his honor. The oldest tree is for Mike Boit, a medalist at the 1972 Olympics, the youngest for 2003 world youth champion Isaac Songok. Songok's tree and the one for 800-meter world-record holder Wilson Kipketer are a lot smaller than most of the rest. "Do the athletes get to choose their trees?" I ask. "Not anymore," Colm O'Connell replies. "The groundskeeper demanded that we plant only shrubs from now on. He said a forest was forming." The 55-year-old O'Connell is a member of the Patrician Brothers, a Catholic order founded in Ireland. He came to St. Patrick's in 1976 for what was supposed to be a two-year assignment teaching geography. Within a year of arriving on campus, he became the school's track coach despite having no background in running. O'Connell, who resembles a sun-splotched Dick Cheney, has never worked out. St. Patrick's isn't your ordinary high school. Since O'Connell started his coaching gig, the alumni list has turned into a track geek's fantasy teamâKipketer is only fifth on the school's all-time list at 800 meters. During his first few years at St. Patrick's, O'Connell's students usually won in meets against other local boarding schools, but that's where the competition stopped. When St. Patrick's students won two events at the 1986 world junior championships, the coach figured out he was in the deep end of the genetic talent pool.

http://www.kenyalogy.com/eng/info/pobla.html

Extractions: Kenya's population agglomerates tribes, cultures, religions and languages. According to what we know today, the country's human map was started 6,000 years ago, when the native inhabitants of this land were first invaded by the northern Nilotic and Cushite peoples. Then came the Bantus, followed by the Arabs, Asians, Europeans... The skin colours of the Kenyans cover all the range of clears and darks. The nearly 30 million Kenyans are distributed in a very uneven way throughout the country, given that the north and northeast regions are arid and little hospitable for human settling. In this regions, population density hardly reaches 2 inhabitants per sq km, whereas in the rich and fertile western the rate rises to 120 inhabitants per sq km. In the Rift Valley, denisty varies among areas, with an average around 13 inhabitants per sq km.

http://www.kenyalogy.com/eng/info/pobla4.html

Extractions: Map of language distribution The different ethnic groups or tribes in Kenya may be grouped in three linguistic classes: Bantus, Cushites and Nilotes/Paranilotes. Bantus comprise 65% of the population, Cushites are 3-4% and Nilotes/Paranilotes around 30-31%. Each of these classes may be subdivided according to dialect groups, as shown in the table below. Bantus are classified as Western, Central and Coastal. The Paranilotic languages in Kenya are divided in three groups: Teso, Maasai and Kalenjin. The only Nilotic language currently spoken in Kenya is Luo. The Nilotic languages, also spoken in Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania, belong to the family of Nilo-Saharian languages. Finally, Cushites are mainly shepherds speaking Somali or Galla, languages that belong to the Afro-Asian family of tongues that originated in northern Africa and the Middle East. The Swahili-speaking peoples are grouped in a different category, though their origin is basically Bantu. On the other hand, a separate group includes some hunter-gatherer tribes of ancient origin, today practically extinct.

http://allanturner.com/article09.html

Extractions: Contextualizing The Gospel In Africa This article was written in Kenya, East Africa. By definition, Contextualization is the application of Biblical truths to the circumstances and situations to be experienced in a target culture. And although American culture, contrary to African culture, has been widely influenced by Biblical truths, nevertheless, Biblical principles have been contextualized in our society as well. For instance, it was necessary that the principle of the master-slave relationship articulated in the New Testament almost two thousand years ago be contextualized into the employer-employee relationship of our modern American society. Unfortunately, some Americans who have failed to do this have thought the New Testament to say nothing about our modern employer-employee relationship. Nevertheless, in order to be the kind of people the Lord wants us to be, we must contexualize the truths taught in the Bible to/into our modern society. Having learned how to do this in our own culture, we must now teach the Kenyans how to do the same thing in theirs. The Process The process of contextualization involves a series of stages. The

Extractions: The Global Routes Teaching Internship Program in Kenya has been designed in coordination with community members, teachers and school administrators. Interns live with a family in a rural village, help teach in the village secondary school, offer extracurricular activities and initiate and participate in community service projects. It is not necessary to have a background in teaching or a particular subject area. The first portion of the program is dedicated to preparing interns for their teaching placements. Register Now! During this primary program component, two interns are placed together in a rural village. Co-interns can collaborate on lesson planning and team-teaching endeavors. The Global Routes in-country director meets with interns on a regular basis to provide support. Their teaching responsibilities begin immediately. Depending upon their skills and interests and the school's needs, the interns may teach Math, English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Social Ethics. Because schools are expected to cover 13 subjects in preparing their students for the national exams, the few teachers these schools do have are overworked. Fellow teachers are happy to have interns to help relieve them of their burden.

http://www.ivoindia.org/ADay.htm

Extractions: The alarm clock screams. 6:00 a.m. Already? Seems like I turned the lights off only minutes ago. After a life-giving cup of coffee I switch on the radio to listen to BBC's cockerel crow announcing the beginning of 'Network Africa' - their morning news show for Africa. A few minutes before 7:00 a.m. I step into the shower. Mornings are surprisingly chilly here in semi-arid Tala, Kenya. I used to heat up water in a pressure cooker (the largest cooking utensil I had at home) for a wash. I finally managed to save enough money from my VSO allowance to afford an automatic water heater attachment for the shower. The world news summary has begun on the radio as I dress and munch on breakfast- a couple of biscuits, some yoghurt, a banana and if I am especially hungry an omelette and toast or a peanut butter-and-jam sandwich. I leave the house at 7:45 and walk the 200 meters to the Holy Rosary College in rural Kenya where I have been living and working for the last 8 months. The College that began in 1963 offering vocational secretarial training to disadvantaged women is now trying to adapt to a changing world by offering an IT diploma course. My job here is to put systems and processes in place to meet the stringent standards specified by the parent university accrediting the college and teaching the more advanced courses to the students, training the existing staff, finding ways of improving the College library and laboratory.
