Homestays:
As part of study aboard, we
lived with Kenyan families. My family, the Kangethe, provided me
with the unique chance to better understand what means to be Kenyan for
them and experientally understand how Kenyan life differs from American
life. I could never fully express my thanks and how great the Kangethes
were to me.
