The Zekavat Family Summer Sabbatical Endowment was established at MFS in 1996 to encourage the faculty to engage in creative and challenging summer travel and study.  The sabbatical is meant to contribute to the rejuvenation and education of teachers and to permit them to pursue opportunities for personal growth and learning.  Full-time faculty members who have served three years teaching at MFS are eligible. A key goal of the Sabbatical is to share the ideas, experiences and traditions from other cultures with students and faculty at MFS both inside and outside of the classroom. 

I am fortunate to have been selected this year and am using the opportunity to visit Kenya to make connections with local schools and villages in hopes of bringing students on a rich and amazing Intensive learning trip in March 2025. This blog is a way to document and share my adventures along the way. I hope you enjoy!
