Before becoming an administrator, Ms. Jenkins taught first grade students for one year in Ashiya, Japan for the personnel of the United States Air Force. While teaching, Ms. Jenkins was selected along with six others Los Angeles district teachers, to participate in a social science project in West Africa. Each of the participants spent several weeks staying with host African families, and were expected to end their stay, with not only with an oral presentation at Lagos University, but to develop educational kits of social science. It was the experience of meeting and interviewing a fisherman named Cyril Kwashie which forms the basis of Ms. Jenkins story.
