AJP's IC Trip

Months ago AJP went on a trip to Mt. Kenya with the 5th grade at his school.  He wrote a bit about it but I never posted it because I didn't have any pictures.  The last of day I school I finally managed to ask the teacher for the pictures.  Below is AJP's writing and some pictures.

Inter-cultural Trip to Mount Kenya

Each year, the fifth grade at my school goes on an intercultural (IC) trip. Students and teachers go on these trips with no parents. I went to Mount Kenya (the highest peak in Kenya and the second highest peak in Africa). We did not climb it because the teachers said it would be too “dangerous” and they were a bunch of pansies. So, we camped on the slopes. My favorite thing was visiting the school. The school had grades one through five in one classroom. Some of the kids were 15 years old. We planted trees, played with the kids and had lessons. It was awesome!!!
