Kenya Immersion Trip 2025: The Parent Perspective

 

As the team prepares for departure, some parents shared their thoughts on what they hope their child experiences and takes away from this trip.

 

Shawna and Hue Hashemi

Cole, Shawna and Hue Hashemi

“This trip to Kenya has the potential to be one of the most life-changing experiences Cole will ever have. It will introduce him to people, culture, and way of life he most likely would never have been exposed to otherwise. Our wish is that he takes it all in, and it serves as a catalyst in becoming the enlightened & compassionate global citizen he can be.”

 

Brian Begley

Brian and Mary Begley

“I am excited for my daughter to be experiencing a new culture through the Kenya Immersion Experience. It’s inspiring to see Mary and her team pour such passion into creating something so impactful. I know this journey is where she’ll build meaningful connections, and I can’t wait to watch her thrive as she gains new perspectives and learns from everything around her.”

Tracy Hale

Tracy, Tyler and Deforest Hale

“I’m beyond excited for my son, Tyler, for having the opportunity to join Whitman on this incredible Immersion Experience in Kenya. This is more than just a trip—it’s a journey of growth, learning, and global perspective that will shape his future in amazing ways.”


Michelle Karedes

Jake and Michelle Karedes

"Jake and his colleagues have an incredible opportunity to travel to Kenya through the Whitman School’s Global Immersion Program. I know they will gain a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity and a broader global perspective. Experiencing life in a different part of the world will help them become more adaptable and resilient. This journey offers a unique opportunity for personal growth and provides career insights in a global context. Most importantly, it allows him to build meaningful connections and bring back a richer understanding of the world. "
