WWU education students heading to Kenya to teach in rural schools

Western Washington University education students are required to do a short-term internship before graduating, with many students working in schools up and down Interstate 5.
But for a handful of WWU students, their student-teaching internships take them farther afield - to Kenya.
For the third time, Kris Slentz, part of WWU's special education department, is taking student interns to Kenya this winter to work in rural schools in an area known as Kasigau, in the southern part of the country near Tanzania.
