What can we learn from a rural school in Kenya? with principal Carol Moraa

from A Bit of Optimism · host The Optimism Company from Simon Sinek

Kenya's Maasai Mara is rugged, beautiful, and tough. Values are everything for the people who live in this rural countryside,  On a trip to Kenya, I had the opportunity to visit The Mara.  The intelligence and grit of the young people there blew me away! I met incredibly driven young women determined to uplift their families from poverty. Carol Moraa is giving them that opportunity. She's the founding principal of Kisaruni Girls High School and Provost for Legacy College. I wanted to ask Carol where her kids find the motivation to willingly sign up for 18-hour school days. It turns out when learning is a choice, not an obligation, it's possible to build schools where cultural values and community are at the heart of what people do. This...is A Bit of Optimism.
