Diary of the visit of the documentation team in Kenya

by Jeremiah Kiponda Kambi, CEO Aiducation International Kenya Day 2, July 16th, 2009: The first shots at a secondary school close by I was at Malindi High School. We had obtained the licence to shoot the movie on day 1, but were still busy giving out copies of the licence to relevant authorities. Our team responsible for the documentary consists of: Mwangudza (Anderson), Jackson, Enrico, Lisi, and me. First thing we did was interviewing our first scholar Amani who said: "If it were not for Aiducation International - I do not know where I would be today, but I hope to make good use of my few months and get the best out of this." Other students we met included Kalu Ngombo -the interview with him was the most tense-, Karema, who was really tried and Ngowa -an excellent student, who is among the 1% best of his year). We returned home very late... Unfortunately, the second school had not given approval to shoot the documentary on their ground. Therefore, we called four other schools (Ribe Boys and Ribe Girls, Agha Khan and St. Johns) who were all ready to receive us on day 3. Also, I contacted the father of one of our scholars who lives close to those four schools. He was also very willing to be interviewed!
