Africa ... Africa will never leave you. Ours might be the most misunderstood continent - much of the reporting is erroneous, hyped, seen through the eyes of a newcomer, even if there is AIDS, poverty, hunger, there is also hope, progress, and lovable people who know the true meaning of home.
This past month, the Maji Mazuri Teenz group sought out the truths that our continent holds, and they did this by touring the National Museums of Kenya. The children happily hopped onto the bus, looking for a day of fun learning.
The Museum is currently celebrating a heritage of century management, and the children who had been looking forward to that trip for a long time. The children got to learn of the different cultures that our country holds dear and also see artifacts, animals, and the various aspects of human history. The museum which recently got a facelift, brings history to life in a way that nothing else could. The new features inclusive of the botanical gardens and the children’s section that has the young researcher’s club, makes it even more educative for the children.
This trip to the museum has motivated the students and put a special emphasis on the importance of history, because as the famous saying quotes “ Not only know thyself. Know where you have been. Know where you are going. Know the place of 'all knowing'. Know the present moment." , we can only fully understand ourselves when we know our history.
