Kindergarten children in Kenya’s Kibera slum will soon know that they are seen as special by Gill St. Bernard’s students when they receive their backpacks. Kibera is the largest slum in East Africa and was hard hit by the political unrest after Kenya's elections at the beginning of the year. Alexis Grieco and Hayley Diverio decided to partner with the Global Literacy Project, Inc. (GLP) to provide the basics a child needs to complete a year or more in primary school. - September 10, 2008
