Filipino Adventures…

So I just realised it has been a month since the last post…Since I wanted to post this last week but the IB caught up to me. If you hadn’t guessed I went to the Philippines for Project Week. YAY!!! Here is a little account of what happened. Enjoy the slide show and please fill…

A well deserved break

Hmmm, I’m constantly trying to find new ways of productively procrastinating just like most people I know here at Li Po Chun UWC. This blog post is my way out of doing a BIology Lab that is due tommorow and I only have 100 words down in a constantly open Word document. As I now…

I think I have my life together…Maybe? We’ll see.

Hey! You there! yes…you! Who is reading this. I’ll TRY put one month in a box. Hopefully, I’ll do better than my feelings. A month has passed since I got back. This time was different. It wasn’t excitement for the unknown. I  was happy to be back. When I immediately got off the bus to see a…

No more questions. No more fear.

The view from my Kenyan home This year, I hope to get to know more people on campus. Not just their names or faces or countries but the essence of who they truly are. What makes them have that laugh till it brings joyful tears to their eyes? What is that one ice cream flavour…

My journey with UWC Kenya

It has suddenly dawned on me that in 21 days I can actually say “OMG! I go to school in HONG KONG!!”. This sudden realisation may have been brought about by the meeting of my Kenyan first years and a recent alumnus of Mahindra (since I’m still a zero year) that took place recently. They…

Just a little Thank You note! 😘

It was a cold windy morning…There were children playing…JUST KIDDING! It’s a month until Hong Kong! A MONTH! So excited! But before I get too overwhelmed I need to thank a few people that mean so much to me and without them I wouldn’t have made it here! My mum who accepted me and always thought…

Am I really that different?

This week I met a special Kenyan lady. No, not Lupita Nyong’o! Another special Kenyan lady. Haha! This lady works with people with disabilities as well as troubled teens. She was truly amazing, down to earth and so smart. We had truly inspiring UWC level discussions about various issues. One thing we talked about was racism…

Why I’ll miss Kenya! 🇭🇰

I’ve been in London three days now and every day I’m here it reminds me more and more of why I love Kenya. It reminds me of how much I will miss home. How much I’ll miss the wide smiles of people on the street. I’ll miss the way people say hello to you when you…

What is UWC? You may ask…

I guess I’m to lazy to write this in my own words but hey! Jasmine captured it tremendously well and I couldn’t have done it any better. Congratulations on getting in to Red Cross Nordic!!!

Hello World! Why now and who am I?

Well, I’m not sure how to start…It kind of feels like an awkward first date. Not that I know what those are like just that you never really know what to say. Hmm, I’m a Kenyan teenager soon to be studying at Li Po Chun United World College in Hong Kong. Why now? It’s summer…
