My teammate, Peggy, and our driver, Karoki, are teaching me some Kiswahili words. Don’t you think you should learn them, too? Here is your first vocabulary lesson:
Hello: Jambo (you already knew that!)
Thank you: Asante
Thank you very much: Asante sana
You’re welcome: Karibu
No problem: Hakuna matata
There will be a test when I get back! :-)

About me
- Hi! My name is Shayne Russell, and I'm the Library Media Specialist at Kenneth R. Olson Middle School in Tabernacle, NJ. Come along with me on an adventure to Kenya, Africa! We will be working as volunteer researchers, side-by-side with scientists who are studying the endangered Grevy's Zebra. Let's see what research looks like... outside of the library!

A good time was had by all.
