My heart aches for all those who have lost their loved ones from the tragedy facing Kenya today as the death toll nears 100.

In the interest of student and staff well-being, the Ministry of Education has announced a delay in school re-opening. While these seasonal floods are not uncommon, the severity of this year's event highlights a crucial issue: our relationship with land.
