A small group of Western Washington University professors traveled to Kenya in August 2008 to develop a different kind of "study abroad" course to take students to Africa, where they will apply classroom concepts to help serve the needs of girls orphaned by AIDS.
The goal for this international project is to use service learning to provide international experiences for WWU students and faculty that go beyond the typical study abroad programs; this initial visit by the WWU faculty team will clear the way for a full student-faculty service-learning experience in 2009.
Traveling to Kenya were Timothy Costello, director of the Center for Service Learning at Western, and executive director of the Slum Doctor Programme; Shearlean Duke, associate professor and chair of the Department of Journalism; Kristi Tyran, associate professor of management, and Mary Sass, assistant professor of management.
While they were there, the group visited the Amboseli National Park, at which all of the animal photos were taken.
