The Volunteer - Kenya Promo

This first film documents Hugo Chittenden in his efforts to make a difference to the lives of those orphans affected by HIV in Kibera Slum, Nairobi.

His journey takes him to the notorious slum of Kibera in Nairobi where he volunteers and cares for orphans affected by HIV. Deeply moved by the experience he pledges to raise funds to renovate and re-equip a medical clinic and community centre for a local charity.

As this challenging project evolves it becomes clear that with just one week to complete the task, tensions, emotions and stress will be running high. During the renovation he is faced with many obstacles including cultural differences, personal threats and corruption but his tenacity and spirit guide him through.

The Volunteer is an emotional and courageous story that outlines one mans journey to change his life and those of others for the better.
