Vodafone World of Difference Video Diary #3

This week I have been working in the rural areas of Naivasha in Kenya. This is where 10 of our 62 schools are located. I have really enjoyed filming for our 2009 Christmas Campaign. In our Christmas Catalogue last year, you could purchase anything from sanitary towels to chickens to school desks, in order to make a difference to the people we work with here in East Africa. Our pledge is to send everyone who has donated a video of the difference that gift has made. I filmed the gifts of sanitary towels, tree seedlings, desks and footballs. It was brilliant, really great to spend time with the pupils and teachers in our school and understand how they feel about the gifts that have been donated. What other organisation does this I ask? We send you a message from the heart, direct from the beneficiary. Wow!
I was also capturing some information and stories about the importance of soft- education. It can be fairly difficult to raise funds for things like teacher training, and training of the school management committee as these are things that are not actually visible, you cant feel and see them. So I have been shooting some great interviews with teachers who have undergone training by Build Africa. Lindsey from Ngecho Primary school had lots to tell me, she has over 20 years of experience in teaching and has been trained in new methodology by Build Africa in the past few years. I have huge respect for this lady; she clearly loves what she does and does it very well. Watch this space for the uploaded videos in the next few weeks (on You Tube not Facebook as I mentioned in the video- oops!)
