I’m a bit behind on blogging so bear with me!
Training is going well and am learning a lot. We have lectures, KSL (Kenya Sign Language) lessons, and discussions on a daily basis.
Last week was week #4 of training which was my favorite week of training so far. We split up into small groups (2-3 people) and traveled all over Kenya to shadow a current PCV for a week. More on that in another post.
This coming week is week #5 which means that we’re almost halfway through our training!
Here are some of the lecture topics for weeks #5 and 6 in addition to week #3 topics.
-Options for Deaf Students Post Primary School
