Welcome to the Rudolf Steiner School, Mbagathi, Nairobi – 20 kilometers
south of Nairobi on the
Masai plains. Here in Sub-Saharan Africa, where a vast majority of children
have no access to
primary education, the school serves 300 children Kindergarten to 8th grade.
About a quarter are
boarders; the remainder come daily from further afield.
Our featured speaker, Leigh Adams will share her experiences teaching
at the Rudolph Steiner
School. In addition to Nairobi, Leigh has taught art in Costa Rica, China,
Baja, Kenya and locally. A

2010 & 2011, Leigh is
currently Artist-in-Residence at the Los Angeles County Arboretum where
she co-designed its first

The Rudolph Steiner School develops the child’s thinking (head),
feelings (heart) and doing (hands),
aiming to educate the whole child so that she grows up with the vitality
and initiative to forge a new
future.

Statement of Purpose
The United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan national organization dedicated to enhancing U.S. participation in the United Nations system and to strengthening that system as it seeks to define and carry out its mission. UNA-USA's action agenda uniquely combines education and public research, substantive policy analysis, and ongoing U.S.-U.N. dialogue.
Origin
The Association traces its founding to 1943 and the birth of the American Association for the United Nations (AAUN), a citizen-based organization led by Eleanor Roosevelt and dedicated to educating American about the U.N. and global issues. In 1964, the AAUN merged with the U.S. Committee for the United Nations, composed of 138 national organizations supporting the work of the world body, thereby creating the United Nations Association of today.
