The Regional Students Group of East Africa seems to be very active in Kenya (especially at ILRI, where the seminar was organized). The intended audience of the seminar was students doing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m giving a seminar on the Linux operating system at ILRI on Saturday, April 17th. The audience is around thirty aspiring bioinformaticians from the Regional Students Group of East Africa. Most of the participants are from Kenya, but we&#8217;ve had confirmations from students in Uganda and Cameroon as well. I haven&#8217;t taught since I left [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe that five months ago I was living in Tala, working as a VSO volunteer. Life was good then, simple; I was living in a rural area of Kenya, hakuna matata (no problems). I didn&#8217;t particularly enjoy teaching, but I loved my colleagues and the pole pole (slow) life was easy to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past year and a half I&#8217;ve been working as a teacher at Holy Rosary College in Tala, Kenya. It has been a great experience but it was a bit nerve racking at first because I wasn&#8217;t prepared to be teaching classes. Over my time as a volunteer at the college I&#8217;ve taught five [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m just kidding, because there is nothing special about going back to school (haha?). We should have started classes over three weeks ago but the information never seems to get to all the right people at the right time. Our students always take a bit of extra time anyways. So we&#8217;re starting this week. I [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s the deal, I posted a few weeks ago that our semester had started and that I was teaching four classes; it turns out that I&#8217;ll be teaching five! A student came last week saying she failed a class in 2005 and she [...]]]></description>

I don’t know why it took me so long to notice, but last semester I noticed that neither the students nor the teachers report on time for school. Last [...]]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t have any failures last semester but this time around we had some irregularities. For instance, the students reported to school two weeks late! I don&#8217;t know why, but they did. The IT instructors had assumed this meant we&#8217;d have [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s what a typical day looks like: 7:00 AM: Wake up, make tea, revise notes for class (if I have one that day). 8:00 AM: Walk to school, stopping in the staff room to greet the secretary and [...]]]></description>

The students picked their classes and then the teachers sat down to figure out the time table. I was assigned two units, Intro to Programming and Algorithms and Network Essentials. I taught [...]]]></description>
