Professor Laura Lackey and Professor Randy Harshbarger, Associate Professor, College of Liberal Arts led a Mercer on Mission trip to Kenya in June 2009. Nine students participated in the adventure. While in country, the majority of time was spent with the Sisit community near Sigor in North Western Kenya. The Mercer team worked to accomplish a variety of activities that the community had identified as priority. Among these were a survey of the possibility of providing water to the community from a nearby river, installation of gutters and water storage at the school building, installation of a swing set, development of a drip irrigation system, and a bee keeping seminar that educated the community on honey production as a means of income generation.
