School children In Kenya
Children are simply amazing. This is a hilarious clip and it makes me smile. The kid on the left in red looks like he has some ADD ama dyslexia coz he seems not to be participating entirely and the little girl still shows 5 fingers when they are singing about number 9 :) Makes me think about how out here kids are diagnosed early when it comes to developmental disorders and placed in appropriate programs. Now in Kenya especially in a class like this one, there's nary a chance that anything will be done for a child without an obvious developmental disorder such as Down's (even then depending on finances or goodwill not much may be done). Does anyone know anything about Genetic Counselors in Kenya? I am interested ...
On other selfish thoughts....Kabinti (she and not her blog) turns a year older on Sunday....

Us (miros)we just assume that those are ugonjwa za wazungu. Don't have a clue about Genetic counsellors.
And let me be the firstest to wish you a very happy birthday on Sunday. (eeehhh can we ask the age?)
At first I did not understand what they were saying until the accent came back to me!! What a laugh.
Happy Birthday August girl. You are in good company. Hope you have a lovely day
What a lovely post, Kabinti:) My smile grew wider and wider as I listened and as the children became louder and louder. I would be interested to know more about what is being done (if at all) for children with such disorders in Kenya.
