Like most college students
in the United States, Kenyatta University students in
Nairobi Kenya have a lot more than graduation on their
minds. Financial aid barely meets their need for housing
and food. In fact, the students themselves organized a
food bank to stop hunger at the university. There's
despair at the prospect of no jobs and the added
complications of AIDS on campus. We decided to have a
round table discussion about issues that concern us all.
We gathered at the office of Kenyatta University chaplin,
Maryknoll priest Lance Nadeau, to speak with student
leaders Carol Nmupan Njokay, George Machari Njeri. |

Violence against women is a world wide problem spanning
across all age, ethnic, and economic groups. It happens
on campus here and abroad. Candid discussion may be the
only way to slowly change the tide. So we continue our
discussion at Kenyatta University and find out how
inequality, cultural perceptions about women and poverty
sometimes lead to intricate cohabitation agreements on
campus and battery. |
