At Woodland High School, students recently attended a classroom presentation led by a Fulbright scholar from Kenya, focusing on the Swahili language and culture. During the presentation, students were introduced to the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of Swahili-speaking communities in East Africa. The scholar provided insights into the origins and significance of the Swahili language and its role as a lingua franca across various East African countries. Additionally, students had the opportunity to learn about key aspects of Swahili culture, including traditions, customs, music, and cuisine. Through engaging activities and interactive discussions, the presentation not only deepened students' understanding of Swahili language and culture but also fostered an appreciation for the diversity and interconnectedness of global communities.
