Kenya Educational Service Trips (KEST)

Travel Update... over a 7-day period, Kenya averages 1 death per day, compared to America averaging 1,903 deaths daily... just saying! ALL people MUST wear a mask... 'tis the law! Hand washing stations EVERYWHERE, temperatures are routinely taken, COVID PCR tests are easy to get with a 24-hour turnaround time... What's not to love?! Come to Kenya, it's safe and glorious!

Just back from my 30th KEST adventure to Kenya... WOW! Launched our 3rd school feeding program; created an alliance with Operation 6:12 , a program that 'Amours Families For the Battle of Addition'; and focused on recording living histories by interviewing elders in various communities to make sure their knowledge doesn't get lost when they die. A well-known African saying is 'when you lose and elder, you lose a library'... not with the people KEST serves! Booking trips for June, July and August NOW, with two groups alreay scheduled! Kenya awaits you... and KEST can make it happen! Go KEST!

KEST has four groups traveling to Kenya this summer. Don't you wish you were going?! Already signing up for January, February and the summer months of 2022... imagine. Let us know if you would like KEST to share the private, non-tourist side of Kenya. We will work hard, play hard and laugh a lot, that is assured!

Kenya is calling me back. Trying to get there in January or February. Have 4 rescheduled groups for summer 2021. Good Lord willing, we will all get back to this amazing country sooner than later. Then we can all 'jump for joy!'

KEST will be back!!! Realistically, looking toward June 2021 for our first group adventures, lead by none other than Justus Mwaka Musia!!! Already have 3 re-scheduled groups for next summer. How are your future travel plans shaping up? Visit Kenya and be moved. KEST can make it happen! GO KEST!
