The Value of Educators and Global Challenges

Having spent time as a teacher myself, I have witnessed firsthand how teachers and schools in the United States are often undervalued. Unfortunately, this lack of appreciation is not unique to the United States; many countries around the world face similar issues when it comes to recognizing and supporting their educators.

My Commitment to a School in Western Kenya

Because of these shared challenges, I am deeply passionate about supporting a small school located on the Nyakach Plateau in Western Kenya. My experiences have motivated me to take action and make a tangible difference in the lives of teachers working in underserved communities.

How You Can Help

As part of our upcoming mission trip in May, I am organizing a Teacher Appreciation Day to honor and support these dedicated educators. To make this event possible, I am reaching out to friends, family, and anyone willing to help. Your support can come in the form of monetary donations or by contributing items from an Amazon wish list specifically curated for the teachers’ classroom needs.

The Impact of Your Contribution

The teachers at this school have limited resources for their classrooms, and every contribution, no matter how small, makes a significant difference. It is truly remarkable how much can be accomplished with the cost equivalent to your daily coffee from Starbucks or Dutch Bros. Together, we can show these teachers how much they are valued and help provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

A portion of all AggieMAMA fees goes to help this school each semester! However there is never enough funds to cover everything the school desperately needs.

So your college student has a few weeks of new classes behind them Now is a good time to encourage them to now find a good study plan and study places to make the grades. They should take time on Sunday afternoons to think out their week!

If you have a student about to head back to college, I encourage you to suggest the following:

1. Clean up email, both school & personal
2. Buy a school planner and actually plan to use it.
3. Get any necessary school supplies.
4. Order any books or online materials for all classes
5. Check to see if their syllabi have been posted and read through carefully. (Add important information to the planner you bought)
6. Determine a reasonable study plan based on school, work, & social life. If possible think of school as an 8am-5pm job and get all school work done during that time!
7. Don’t stress by waiting until the last minute to get an assignment done or study for an exam.
8. Find a tutor early if struggling with a class or know you will struggle with a certain subject.
9. Be a well rounded student-balance school with a little fun too!
10. Remind them to ask for help when needed and to call home on a regular basis!
