The directors and teachers I was honored to meet were Dr. Nghia Le, J. Kim-
bo, Headmaster; Pardon Marabada, instructor; Ashackkkalaus Taylor; Benny
Mudziwapali, instructor; and Dr. Reagan Flowers CEO CCSTEM teacher
and support services.
Their visit to Houston was not all work and study. Their trip included a for-
mal welcome to Booker T. Washington High School, a dinner at the Sheraton
Brookhollow Hotel, a trip to the Space Center, the University of Houston,
Kemah, and the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo. What trip to Texas
would be complete without seeing something truly Western?
There were plans in March for a group of students and teachers from Booker
T. Washington High School to travel to Zimbabwe in November and deliver
a finished Wind Turbine and Water Filtration System that could remove the
dangerous E. Coli from contaminated water. The Coup that took place in
Zimbabwe and Houston’s catastrophic flood after Harvey caused the trip to
be cancelled.
There are plans for students from Houston to travel to Zimbabwe in 2018.
No date has been set yet. The funds that had been collected for the trip in
November were returned.
If you wish to get more information about the cultural exchange project and
the students’ trip, please contact Dr. Carlos Phillips, principal at Booker T.
Washington High School.
