As part of their year-long study of Africa, they invited Dr. mutindi ndunda to visit and share stories and photos from her home in Kenya. She told them while she was here that she would be taking a group of students from the College of Charleston to Kenya over the winter break to deliver humanitarian aid and work with children from two orphanages there.<br /><br />Subsequently, the children decided to help – under the direction of their teachers, Mary White and Deanna Satzger, they worked for two weeks baking everything they knew how to make: brownies, chocolate chip bars, sugar, lemon, and oatmeal cookies, and rice crispy treats! They made signs and conducted a bake sale on Friday, November 16. They sold over 200 items, including a cake and plate of brownies that were donated by the Physical Plant and Jewish Studies Building staff during the course of the day.<br /><br />On Tuesday, November 27, Dr. ndunda visited ECDC again with two students who will be participating in the trip, Sasha Kominers, a sophomore Psychology major, and Laura Anderson, a sophomore Communications major. Camp, one of our kindergarteners, presented them with the proceeds from the sale, $133.27! The children will be preparing "jambo watoto" messages (hello, children) and a book about their bake sale to send along with Dr. ndunda and her students and look forward to her visiting once again when they return.</div>Candace Jaruszewiczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04146699955393675641noreply@blogger.com
