Diversity • 9-12 //Room 101// In 2009 Lia traveled with American Friends of Kenya as a volunteer with their library team. Upon her return, she created a presentation titled Africa: Creating Meaning from Our Experiences and has been a guest speaker on the topic for close to two dozen audiences. This summer she returned with AFK to continue her work setting up libraries, providing library skills instruction, and promoting literacy in Nairobi and surrounding areas. Lia will share the value of incorporating meaningful experiences into teaching including the power of integrating her travels into collaborative lessons with teachers.
