Ken Okoth talks Education and Peace on NPR
01.18.2008

Ken Okoth grew up in a slum on the outskirts of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi. But he found a way out of the cycle of poverty, winning a scholarship to an American university, and going on to become a teacher at a prestigious local high school. He joins Kojo to discuss the violence in his native country, and why he believes education is a source of– and possible solution to– the political turmoil.
