Radio Read Aloud

Thanks to support from St. John’s Parish Day School’s Walk for Wamunyu and Montgomery School’s Steps for Literacy, Kenya Connect has been producing weekly Radio Read Aloud stories and lessons which are being broadcasted on Mbaitu FM.  This program is an effort to bring the power of stories to students during the pandemic. We are excited that along with staff, students are guest readers on the Radio Read Aloud sessions!  Interested in being a Radio Read Aloud Sponsor?  Contact sharon@kenyaconnect.org
