The Computer Project- High School Teachers visit Slovakia

Kasigau Wildlife Trust in Partnership with Youth for Conservation, Slovak Aid and Pontis Foundation sponsored ICT project in Moi High School.

This Project has seen Moi High School get 20 Com-puters and an assortment of information technology equipment to aid E - Learning at the school.

Recently, Two teachers from the school; Chris Mwawana (Deputy HM) and Fredrick Otsieno (Academic Master) accompanied by the Computer Project Officer David Ogiga had a 12 days visit to Slovakia as part of the exchange program.

The Kenyan teachers had a great opportunity for exchange of ideas, gained practical skills on how ICT can be used to enhance learning in classrooms. The schools they visited included Bosany School, Partizanske, Pezinok, Levice Business School and Comenius University in Bratislava. They also had a taste of the culture ranging from foods, tourism and entertainment. The teachers came back determined to apply the lessons learnt.

We will continue to support this project and will always be on the lookout for opportunities to help Kasigau community escape from poverty and illiteracy.

About Kasigau

Kasigau being large (52,000 acres) and diverse, offers the greatest and realistically viable opportunity for wildlife conservation and management in perpetuity.

Already the 18 bed Kiwanjani Eco lodge is on its final stages of completion with each of the rooms tastefully designed using traditional local knowledge and materials. The exclusive hide away is an elegant beauty in the middle of Tsavo wilderness and is set to open its doors in June 2010.
