Monica Zurowski/Calgary Herald: As we finish our 10-day journey in East Africa, it’s fitting we visit two schools before we head to the airport. This trip, with the Calgary-based Awali group, has often focused on education and professional development for teachers in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Improved teaching makes for improved education, which is key if the children of today are to build better lives for themselves as they grow. Throughout our travels, we’ve seen fully equipped schools filled with students, brimming with hope and happiness. But, we’ve also seen other schools, where classrooms are overcrowded, teachers overburdened and classrooms severely under-resourced.
