For our mini-field trip we met a professor from Eastern Illinois University. She was born in Kenya and is a member of the same tribe as Wangari Maathai. Dr. Nganga taught us a lot about Wangari Maathai and about Kenya, Africa.
Dr. Nganga teaching us about foods in Kenya.
What we learned:

cabbage
3. Githeri-
