Temptoton Staff Writer The biggest problem 18-year-old Nyambura Muhoro has had\ during her \five week stay in the United States has been convincing people that she is not a savage who lives in a tree. Muhoro, a representative of the Kenyan Girl Scouts visiting the U.S. as part of an international exchange program, good naturedly says of Americans she has* encountered,4 They don't know anything about Africa. " /'They really believe Tarzan exists," said the petite traveler. ."When* 1 show them pictures of the Nairobi skyline, they're shocked." "I pulled someone's leg and told them we lived in trees and they believed me," she said with a laugh. "I told them we had, TV, but no electricity so we used vegetable oiL They .were nodding theto heads and raying ? 'Yea."' "Yesterday, I was asked 'Have you seen American beds?'" she said during a Tuesday visit to the Chronicle. "For a minute, 1 didn't know what she was asking. Those U/4c ? ? ? 1 1- ^ J uvua *iw uscu cvcrywiicrc in U1C WOriO. With a touch of pride, she noted, 4'I haven't found much of a difference in the standard of living here as opposed to Kenya,*_* , "The major difference is in. the schools. It's much tougher in Kenya. Our high school is the equivalent of your college. I've already done pre-med in high school." Muhoro, who graduated from high school before coming to the States March 30, will begin the five-year medical school program at the University of Nairobi in September. "Somebody said to me, speak a little African," said Mohoro in her impeccable yet unstilted diction. "I said there are thousands of African languages. In Kenya, the official language is English, our national language is Swahili and my native tongue is Kikuya. Most of the kids there speak three languages." The Kenyan scout attended one of dozens of high schools in Nairobi, most of which, she says, are equipped with swimming pools and tennis courts. ' Like American teenagers, Muhoro and her Kenyan counterparts play games, or go to films, discos or parties for entertainment. The Girl Scouts in Kenya are mostly made up of teens, as opposed to a majority of pre-teens See Page 17 r^T^oticTtirSub^ To: Home Delivery Subscribers Our home delivery subscribers have been extremely patient in helping us organize our distribution network.
