Hey Mom and Dad, I’m in the NY Times!
If you ask New York Times readers “what’s your favorite section?” you’ll probably hear a lot of people say Travel, or Style, or even those wacky Vows features. But my go-to is always Real Estate.

Day 3 at Nkenijii School
Day 1 and Day 2 stories I started my third day at Nkenijii Primary School in a new way: I spent part of the morning photographing medical procedures in the makeshift clinic. Hand and head washing stations Two repeat volunteers in our group, Cathy and Maureen, are nurses. Each year they take over a classroom…

The Kenya Schedule – Part Three
Part 1 and Part 2, for your reading enjoyment. By now, you have a sense of how we spent our school days. Because they ended around noon (except on Friday), after an hour’s drive back to camp, we generally had free time for optional activities. Tuesday, July 15 The first optional activity was a night…
