Kenyan Education

I just read an article from an organization that I go on missions trips with about education in Kenya. The article talks about the poverty of Sub-Saharan Africa and the costs of schooling. They make the connection that poverty is having a direct effect on the education of Africans. They expand on the idea of education, pushing it beyond the idea of reading, writing, and arithmetic. They expand the definition to include bible teaching and healthcare; both of which are important in the third world setting. The organization, Global Outreach Developments International (G.O.D.), drew a statistic from a study done by Purdue University that says by 2015 African nations will make up 75% of all un-schooled children in the world. That's so intense! I don't want the people of Africa to go without schooling. They need an education so that they can have power and no longer be oppressed.
