Children in Kenya

What subjects do you study in school, and which one is your favorite?:

Kids here study all the same things that you do in the U.S.: science, math, English, etc.

What is your homework like?:

Homework can be tough, because many kids can't afford the books to take home--or even pencils.

What do you like to do after school? Do you have a favorite sport or game?:

Everyone here loves soccer, but they call it football. Most kids don't have money for any toys or balls, so they make up games to play with their siblings.

What kinds of music do you listen to?:

There are lots of music types here including African, reggae and pop--like in the U.S.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?:

Most kids would love to visit the U.S.! They would be delighted to know that you're curious about how they live, and they would have many questions to ask you about how you live, too!

What do you know or think about the United States?:

Many kids believe the U.S. is like paradise, and that all Americans are rich. They know it is a place that everyone wants to go to because of all the opportunities there.

What questions do you have for kids in the United States?:

If you could ask a Kenyan child something about his/her everyday life, what would you ask?
