THE MOST SUSTAINABLE FOOD IN THE WORLD

Education in Kenya has seen remarkable progress over the years, offering hope and opportunity to millions of young people. With strong government initiatives, community involvement, and international support, the country is steadily building an inclusive, modern, and future-focused education system. One of the most significant milestones has been the introduction of free primary education in 2003 and later, free day secondary education. These policies have opened doors for children from all walks of life, especially those from low-income families. Today, school enrollment has reached record highs, reflecting a major step toward universal education. Kenya’s shift to the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) is another positive development. Unlike the traditional system that focused on memorization, CBC emphasizes creativity, problem-solving, and real-world skills. It aims to produce well-rounded learners who can adapt to a changing world and contribute meaningfully to society. Gender equali...

  I visited Kidepo National Park in 2001 while I was doing research in Uganda. Kidepo is located in the Karamoja region, which is known for its isolation and cultural differences. Karamoja is populated by the Karamojong, who are known for their cattle culture and cattle raiding. My friend and I were traveling to Kidepo National Park when our car rolled over. The windshield smashed and the roof of the car caved in. My friend's arm was badly cut. We were stranded on a deserted road about 10 miles from the district capital of Kotido. When our car rolled over, some Karamojong men came to our aid. They helped us get my injured friend to the hospital, and then I had to wait with the vehicle and my Karamojong acquaintances until help arrived. My friend and I had a lot of stuff in the back of our car, including fuel, money, and food. We were stranded in a deserted area with the Karamojong men who had helped us. I shared some food and conversation with them while we waited for help to...
