I met Candice Kaiser, a high school science teacher, in Kibera, a slum of Nairobi, last summer. We spent roughly a month together in Tanzania. Many nights we stayed up talking and dreaming (by candlelight… no power!) about the things we wanted to do for our friends in Africa. Instead of it ending there, she went home and did something about it. That’s what I love about Candice- she’s not just talk. This summer, she’s going back, and she’s taking a team of 14 of her high school students with her. These kids are awesome, but deal with their own set of struggles living in a rough neighborhood in Austin, TX. The journey to Kibera is already challenging, but they’re determined to make it. Please, take some time to listen to their inspiring story!
