Kennedy Thal is the closest friend I've made on my study abroad trip to Botswana. Kennedy is a popular singer-songwriter who loves to travel, cook and garden, among other things. He is deeply passionate about caring for his family, friends and the plants and animals in his community. The words below are all from Kennedy himself.
My full name is Kennedy Segopotso Monageng Thal.
I live in Gaborone City, Botswana and I built my house for myself. It took me over four years to complete. My house has a modern interior design including two bedrooms, a storage room, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. I also have a patio with a garden in the backyard.
I have an American father and a Motswana (meaning someone from Botswana) mother. I am close to my maternal grandmother.
I usually travel around Botswana by car. I have my own car, so I rarely use public transportation.
