- **School Health: Ministry of Education**. I'm a teacher of English in the Kenyan School System. I rose from teacher to Teacher Manager. Having managed different schools at diferent levels: from subcounty (districts before), to county (200-300 secondary schools) and national. Children who are healthy will give the best output, that is my interest. We've been doing annual deworming and we have clustered our counties and annually administered drugs. The teachers are trained to give. The children are treated and fed so they are in the best condition, learning and their outcomes are optimal. We take sciences very seriously and STEM is a key foundation. Mwandawiro is a product of our education system.

- [[Mwandawiro]]: In the room we have colleagues from Ghana. People from different countries but in Africa we have Ghana and Kenya. We started the journey of STOP in 2018. We had colleages from Ethiopia and Mozambique. Ghana give me some nostalgic memories because in 2002, 2003 we started deworming activities with JICA. They came and stablished ESASIPAC. In Ghana they established WASASIPAC (for the West). We in Kenya and our colleagues in Ghana we're visiting each other and comparing notes. And we're here again in a consortium that joins us together. Please that the team from Ghana includes a prominent researcher, Abraham Oduro.
