A Belated Happy Valentine's Day

Early, VERY early yesterday morning I received a Valentine email from the children I work with in Nairobi, Kenya.  What I see first is all the smiling faces, eyes filled with anticipation for what we might do next...eager, motivated learners.  There are 30 children packed into a room that is not much bigger then a typical US living room.  It is hot.  They have limited supplies and only one computer.  The walls of the "classrooms" are falling apart.  We would never allow our children to try to learn under such conditions. Soon they'll have other lessons to teach us.
