On Saturday, November 21 Kent Place held a photography exhibit and sale to support the students’ Global Service Learning Initiative. Photos of Kenyan landscapes, animals and people, from their spring 2009 trip, were on display. All photos, taken by students and faculty, were enlarged, matted and framed and made available for purchase. The school raised more than $12,000.

The exhibit and sale took place in the Great Room of the school’s new Academic Center. The event began with a brief student presentation about Kent Place’s Global Service Learning Initiative and their trip to Kenya. Guests were able to peruse the collection of photographs and shop. Light refreshments were served.

The Global Service Learning Initiative’s Kenya Project Team, comprised of Middle and Upper School students, visited a local school and built a pipeline from the water source to the dormitory so the students would have running water in their building. Proceeds from the photography sale will support a GSLI project in Tanzania.
