Global Kids' Digital Media Initiative

Well I'm back in New york. It took me a while to adjust but I can live. I miss Kenya so much. All the people I met, all the friends that I made but I got their contact info. I'm going to check out Youth Alive! Kenya's website for the application to get an internship in Kenya. The work that these people do and if the funding was possible they could do so much more. Life back in New York doesn't feel the same anymore. I feel like a total stranger to this place. I'm happy to see my friends and everyone else but it's not how I felt before I left. When I got back unpacked and put everything away. As I was doing that I felt like, I don't even know how to describe it. I felt like Kenya gave me that extra boost that I was looking for. It also served as a getaway from home and my life. Now I'm back and I'm going to do all that I can. I'm going to graduate go to college do my career and live in Kenya. Open up my own school, but I'll need to learn the language but hey it's all worth it. That's what I want and I'm going after it all. Well that's all for now see you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey it's O'tillia, Sorry I'm late for the post Kenya reflection. It's been hard adjusting to a different environment after we came back and I realize that things are just not the same. I miss Kenya sooooo much that I really wish we were still there. I've come back to homework, and boredom but I haven't stopped seeing my Kenya family. We've gotten so close that they are a second family that I don't and won't ever forget. I really want to thank Kevin for making this trip possible, without you I would not have had a different life for two weeks and a culture shock as well. Catherine also deserves some thanks because she helped get things ready before we came and without her we would not be a complete family. And Tabitha thank you soooo much for coming with us, not only because you filmed it and kept our experience real but because you were a huge contribution to the trip. Meeting people like the kids from Kibera (a slum located in Kenya) that were so smart and influential to the trip (working with Youth Alive Kenya), or the women from the Kikuyu village working together with the Green Belt Movement to make trees sustain their lives as well as their families, or those girls from ADRA that brought Gabriel to "tears", or the little kids from the MYSA library that we read for (or vice versa actually) and those teens that danced and sang for us really impacted my life because they were so talented it brought me to tears that the government isn't realizing the state in which they live and trying to help them. But they actually don't need our help they live that way and live happy on top of it. We need to make the children here in the U.S. realize how much these kids go through and make them stop complaining about what they don't have when others in the world don't even have a home. Bye all, O'tillia aka O.T. aka Otown lol

Group shot after the student led workshops at Kibera Glory Secondary School in Nairobi's Kibera slum. These kids were awesome on many levels: they were very thoughtful, insightful, intelligent, charming, eloquent, the list goes on and on. They are Kenya's future, if only the ruling elite would not marginalize them and their community and give them the opportunities they need to take the reins.

This is officially my second time blogging whoop! whoop! GO ME. So I'm just giving the world an update on how I'm doing and letting everyone know some of the things I learned and that I miss my K.K.G.C.L.N.O.T family. The trip to Kenya was extremely emotional and was definitely life changing we bonded with so many people and learned so many things from them. Like when we went the Kikuyu homestead with the Green Belt Movement we learned how everything they do is in one way or another done to help make life easier. For example the when they plant trees in strategic places to provide shade while working and when they need to make a fire or build a home they chop branches off and feed the leaves to the animals and the animals poop it out and they use it as fertilizer for the next generation of trees for fire wood or houses or shade for farmers like Njoroge (shout out). Like O'tilla said plant a tree save a life. We also learned how resilient people are and no matter how bad someones life may seem to you its much better to learn from them than to feel sad for them. I think on our trip their were so many good examples of this; like the kids from Kibera Glory Secondary School. Kibera is a slum in Nairobi where people live in shacks and walk on waist because the government has almost forgotten about these neighborhoods. Despite living in dangerous surroundings and not having access to the best education the students we met are brilliant. We held two workshops one lead by Kojo and Lindsay and the other was access to education lead by O'tillia, Nurys, and myself both work shops were good but ours was better lol. I honestly think that spending so much time with all the students I learned more from them than they learned from us. During our stay in Kenya we met so many great people and partnered with a bunch of wonderful organizations. Shout out to Kevin for making this trip so amazing, shout out to Cathrine for coming early and preparing things for us and shout out to Tabitha for coming and filming the trip so the world can really see how much the trip impacted us all. Shout out to the whole team for staying open and allowing us to become the family that we did. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!! ......from Gabriel

As a family and members of global kids we are highly motivated and inspired by your efforts.This trip has emotionally affected the way I view things and out here in Kenya people are willing to go to school to make social change in their communities. Living in Kenya is very challenging because of corruption in their government. Kenyans are willing to make a creative change in their government and we as well trained students and with the help of our Global Kids leaders, are able to empower the youth in Kenya to stand up for themselves because each individual can make a great significant change in their various communities. Poverty is one of the big issues in Kenya and young people drop out of school because they are unable to afford school fees.Everyday people starve to death and even little kids sniff glue to avoid getting hungry. We as individual citizens of the United States of America can help these wonderful people's life and education.

Helloooooooo, So today we Came back from doing a workshop on Youth Activitism and yesterdays workshops were on Human rights & Education. The kids in Kibera are great and extremely intelligent and just by talking to some of them you can tell what they are going to be in the future, they are really amazing and so happy even knowing the conditions that they live in, they still manage to smile and just enjoy life how it is. Also in the beginning of the week (monday) we woke up super early to go to Nairobi's national park and we saw a lot of cool animals but I kind of expected more animals but then we went to their zoo and we saw more there and that was pretty cool. Later that same day we had to be at a meeting at 3:00pm and the meeting was about "Female Genital mutiliation". That meeting really impacted me in such a huge way it made me open my eyes on the real world and just so many other things and just how ungrateful we can be with some things. It really hit me hard, almost like a slap in the face and I had no choice but to just cry...and I cried A LOT that day even when we left I was just thinking about some things; personal things. Kenya is the real deal, people are starving, and some are working to just eat and support their family and these girls are getting circumsized and being used basically as sex symbols because they are valued as nothing in some of these tribes and they're in a lot of pain; emotionally & physically and they still manage to put a smile on their faces and sometimes us as girls complain for littlest things that are so unnessary and when I say us girls I include myself too. I think it's time we wake up and smell the coffee because this is it..the REAL WORLD people are putting their lives at risk every single day and we just go through life like its just fun and games and complain because we wanna live in a bigger house with lots of rooms and more cars and more money and etc, meanwhile people are living on sheet metal and wood and are still happy and enjoy life... I hope that when i get back i could do the best i can to help some of these children and girls, I wanna open my own book foundation to help MYSA's library and hopefully it will be a success thats the 1st thing im going to do once I get back and I hope that I could get the most help as possible from my family and friends and that includes GK of course...This trip is really opening my eyes on the real world and I know I have more days to go this is just the beginning, Because I've got work to do when I get back! I'm extremely grateful to be here in Kenya dispite all the downs we had it all happen for a reason. If it werent for GK taking me on this trip i think I would still be the same person..and I now know whats real and what to expect from life and to appreciate the things I have especially the little things like hand sanitizer because over here people were so surprised to see the hand sanitizer because they have never seen it before and I was just so shocked how surprised they were to find out about this liquid that cleans your hands without soap and water... Soooooo im done for now but i'll be back again who knows when; thanks for listening again =]

It's been great here in Kenya, I really didn't expect to experience what's been going on and just see the different ways that people live. We really need to realize that there are people living with what we consider nothing and turning it into whole bunch of something. I'm very blessed to be on this trip and with the help of Kevin, Catherine, and Tabitha this could not be a better trip.
The other day we planted trees with this organization called the Green Belt Movement formed by Wangari Mathaai (Nobel peace prize winner) and you might not know this but there are really people living in the village we went to, as well as throughout Kenya, that use these trees to survive, so I'm thankful for planting that. I also came up with this quote on my own I'm telling the truth: "Plant a tree and save a family" rhymes right???!!! I made it up on my own, you can ask Kevin it's full proof it should be a leading phrase.
Then the next day was very emotional we went to a slum hosted by an organization called Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA) and we watched and listened to these really talented kids sing and dance. I don't know why but i started to cry when this boy sang for us playing a guitar with his partner. After that we toured the place, then walked to a library that they have open for kids of all ages. You won't believe this but there was a girl that I was reading with and she was amazing but you could probably not guess her age (8 years old) the book was big with a lot of crazy big words and I was just in a state of shock people, then they performed for us 3 poems about AIDS, Rape, and Prostitution it was crazy it got me crying and I will never forget that moment (and if I do which is bound to happen (memory problems) we have it on tape) so maybe you guys will get to see it.
Other than that I'm having a great time we've gone through many emotional days together but we are a family and we will always support each other when we cry or in Gabriel's words (tearing). Recently there's been a visit to another organization called Adventist Development and Relief Agency that mainly focuses on FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) and it is something that many females throughout the world go through and I'm sure you would never want to happen to you. The rest of the trip has been mostly talks, we enjoy each others company and there's many experience that will never be forgotten
Love, O'tillia

Well it's been a while since I blogged. A lot has happened over the past few days. On Monday we went to Nairobi National Park for the game drive. It was fun. We saw a lot of zebras. We also saw giraffes, monkeys, wildebeest, and a bunch of other animals that I can't remember. Then we went to an animal orphanage and we saw buffalo, monkeys, a baboon, lions male and female I think but yea. I got to pet a cheetah. It was so awesome and they took a picture too. Kenya has been the greatest trip in my life. The people that we have met are AMAZING. There are no words to describe them. Then later that day we went to a meeting about FGM, Female genital mutilation. Robert who organized the presentation got into so much detail that I was beginng to feel sick. He showed us a clip of a seven year old who was being circumcised. You can literally see them cutting the little girl's clitoris with a stone knife. It was disgusting. Thank God that the power went out. Then he began to talk about the different types of circumcision. You can ask me when I come back. Then we heard from the two guests that were there. One had undergone FGM while the other one ran away in time. The one that had undergone FGM was tricked into doing it. Her father told her that when she was ready to get cricumcised that all she had to do was tell him. But one day she came back from school her stepmother told her to lie on a piece of hide and the next day she was circumcised. It was horrible, Her only wish is that she can find her sister because she was married off. These girls are so strong about it and they're an inspiration. Then the next day we meet up with Youth Alive Kenya. We met the staff and they were awesome. Then they took us to Kibera one of the largest slums in Africa. We went to the high school called Glory. We did our workshops and the students were amazing, like honestly these kids were so smart and well prepared it's like we've been working with them for some time. The ideas they had were amazing. They all enjoyed the workshops and the games. I had so much fun and I got all of their emails and numbers so without a doubt I'm going to stay in touch with them. That's it for know. This trip has been an amazing experience that I'll never forget and I thank Kevin and Catherine and the whole GK crew for helping out to make this trip happen. THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of love ,
Lindsay BYE guys

-Soooo yeah Nurys here again, sitting in a computer center in kenya (duh) . This experience so far has been so great! I have learned so much and I know its just the beginning I'm just learning as we go. The way some of the people live is so sad and you just wish you can do anything to help, but they are just so happy and grateful that they are alive and it's like they're living with no cares because of the joy they have in their hearts. Especially the women, these woman are so strong and could handle ANYTHING, they wake up super early to start the day's meals, (breakfast, lunch,dinner) and their whole day basically depends on that and they love it. I was happy that I was able to actually experience partially how they live. I got to help them cook and feed their cattle and just live in their homes. We also planted trees and it was great because I've never done that before and I know it was for a good cause and it felt really good to help people when they really need it. Also today we went to another slum and we learned about a soccer team called "MYSA" and we saw a dance performance and a boy singing with his friend; it was beautiful. We also read to little children of about 8-12 years old and THAT was an amazing experience because that was something else I never did before and I love children so much and I believe in them and it was awesome how I had about 8 kids around me while I was reading to them and they knew all the stories already and they were SO YOUNG I was shocked how intellegent the kids are and I also managed to take on the responsibility of helping these kids by sending them books which I will do FOR SURE once i get back. Overall it's been great so far and i hope to keep it this way. I know I've got a lot to think about when I get back. Okay well I'm done now, we've got to go back to the center. Oh yeah & thanks for listening to me mister blog website sir. =] haha.

I always find it difficult to describe a profound experience! Words rarely do enough justice in capturing the moment. How can I adequately describe each emotion, each thought, each sense of smell, sight and touch that goes into our HRAP Kenya trip? This is a trip that is constantly transforming each one of us...students and staff! Yes, we are here in Kenya, my homeland that I am so proud of in so many ways....and in many other ways feel sad and frustrated about. It feels great to look around and see the beauty in children's smiles, the hearty handshakes, the warmest hospitality and so much more. At the same time, weep at the ever increasing divide between the haves and haves not; the never-ending corruption cycle; the continuous destruction of our values and environment!

I feel extremely blessed to have this opportunity to view my country through the eyes of our amazing GK leaders. Everyday, Lindsey, Otillia, Nurys, Kojo and Gabriel share their thoughts, their ideas, their feelings about the things they experience as they go through all the incredible activities that Kevin organized. They inspire me with their genuine care and concern for human rights issues. I watch them participate willingly and courageously in activities that many would never opt to do! I see them push their limits as they continuosly step out of their comfort zones, in order to understand various situations....yes, I am happy to have this amazing group of students here with me! I am also happy to co-lead this trip with Kevin and Tabitha...we are all learning so much and truly growing in so many ways.

Helllllllllllllllllllllllooooooo everyone out there! This is my first time blogging sorry for the wait (Gabriel speaking). This is our second day in Kenya and I wanted to run through the trip so far. we spent thirty hours in transit how awesome was that, not really. We arrived in Ghana after a ten hours flight. Then we spent twelve grueling hours at the Ghana airport with nothing to do but sleep. After another 8 hours flight we finally arrived in Kenya at 5:30 am. We were really stoked to be here filled to the brim with excitement, and we were wonderfully greeted by Tabitha and Catherine waiting for us at the other side! When we finally arrived at the School for Field Studies SFS center, we took showers and hopped into a van to go sight seeing.

On the drive to Nairobi from our camp we saw lots and lots of wild life, such as lions..no I WISH! We saw highlanders, gazelle, an ostrich, zebra which Nurys named peanut, we also saw wildebeests, lots of cow, big ugly birds, and monkeys which we were allowed to feed..how cool. When the drive was over we arrived at this huge mall in Nairobi like the kind you see in the States. We came upon a Maasai market where we were allowed to buy gifts and experience bartering for goods. By the way Tabitha she got skills she helped me bargain. We then returned to the SFS center for dinner, light conversation then sleep.

At this moment we are at the Greenbelt movement center in Kenya, where they're letting us use their internet. We have spent the whole day here and have learned so much about what they do. Now qe are going to watch a movie about the founder and noble prize winner Wangari Mathai. I am really glad to be here with the people i am here with each and everyone of us brings something to make this trip just breath taking and it's only the second day.

I'm so excited but scared at the same time, I don't know what to expect but I'm pretty sure I'll be safe and sound with Kevin and Catherine taking care of all of us. I've taken the medicine needed and packed all that is necessary, hopefully I haven't forgotten anything important. It's time to take cold showers I don't know if I can do it but I will survive. I can't wait but it takes two days to get there so I'll blog again when I arrive, I'm sure there will be lots of things to write about when we get off the plane, something crazy is bound to happen. Wish us luck!!!!

The moment is upon us. Off we go to Kenya! Our flight leaves at 5:30 PM tonight from JFK. Kojo, Nurys, O'tillia, Lindsay, Gabriel, and myself are about to embark on a very long journey (including the now infamous 12 hour layover in Ghana) but we'll try to get as much rest as we can on the way to Kenya. We'll be ready to get right into it as soon as we land.

The pre-departure program went very well and the students learned a lot about politics, governance, human rights, economics, recent history, culture, and people of Kenya. They can also construct basic sentences in Swahili thanks to Catherine's brilliant lessons.

So, watch this space for updates on our work and travel. We'll try to get to an internet cafe hopefully a couple of times to do some blogging on our experience. Until then, kwaheri.

Well it's been a while since I've blogged and a lot has happened. Yesterday we watched a clip and I forgot what it was called (Battle at Krueger), but it showed animals interacting in the wild. At first it was a bit sad because the baby buffalo was caught by the adolescent lions and didn't move. I thought it was dead. Then a crocodile came out of the water and tried to get a bite of the buffalo. But it didn't. Then you see that a herd of buffaloes came to save the baby buffalo. The leader chased away two of the lions and the rest of the herd went after the other two. To my astonishment the baby buffalo was alive and went to the herd. I was so happy to see that the baby buffalo was alive. Then we did a workshop on politics and government in Kenya. It was really interesting and a lot to take in too. For the first almost 40 years since the independence the KANU (The Kenya African National Union) which was an ethnic political party stayed in power until 2002 when Kibaki came into power. Then came the Swahili lesson. That was awesome. We reviewed a bit from what we learned the day before, then we learned more greetings and more words that were complicated but I got it. Then we learned how to say "What is you're name" in Swahili it's Jina lako nani... To respond you say Jina langu ni .... meaning my name is... I can't wait to see what we learn today. Until next time BYE!!!!!!!!!

I am very excited to go to HRAP Kenya 09 and everyday in my life, my global kids leaders always motivate me in becoming a human rights activist. I learned about the Kenyan government and its actions. Impunity in Kenya has affected all humanitarian aspects in Kenya and individual leaders who tried to resolve these problems are being intimidated and killed by the police and security forces. Throughout its history, human rights have been abused and on this international trip to Kenya my fellow friends and global kids leaders would try to address solutions to these problems in Kenya.

Heyyyyy guys its me again, Nurys 8-)
Yesterday we had such a great day, we learned about the government and the politics of Kenya and their presidents and what not. Also I learned that in Kenya people take the tribes very seriously, they all have names for them and people identify themselves with their tribes and sometimes they don't even talk to other people if they are not from their same tribe. I really enjoyed yesterday's lesson about the government and politics and the country. Also we learned MORE Swahili; how to greet people and how to say stuff like Good morning, Good Night & Good Afternoon. I like saying Good Night (Lala Salama) which means sleep peacefully. We were also looking up articles on issues that are going on in Kenya today. I hope to learn more about Kenya and their Language today for I could take it back with me when I get to Kenya. =]

The first day of our HRAP pre-departure program was a great step into the beginning of our big trip. It made me realize “Wow I’m going to Kenya (AFRICA!!!!) in about two weeks” which is a big deal.

To get us started Catherine laid out binders on the desks that included Kenya related articles to get us started with any research and extra information we may need to know for our trip (so we already knew where we're going to sit, lol). Then once we were all settled in we discussed or plane ride plans and found out that we would be flying to Ghana and staying in the airport of Ghana for 12 HOURS!!!! Yes 12 as in T-W-E-L-V-E. We don’t know if we will be able to leave the airport, which makes our trip even more exciting because we can say that we have been to both Ghana and Kenya (two countries of Africa) in two weeks.

After the discussion and our daily Check-In we began to play a human scavenger hunt to find out more information about Kenya from other Global Kids staff members. That was hard but very informal and I learned a lot (there were many Swahili words in the movie “The Lion King”). We also tried our best to figure out the 61 countries and territories in Africa and put it on our individual maps; which was nice to find out, then we looked at a video of the students and GK staff leaders that went to Croatia in 97’. It was an amazing experience for them as I hope it will be for us with Tabitha taping the whole experience. We now have 17 more days until we leave for Kenya and I’m very excited.

Hey everyone my name is O’tillia Roberts and I’m going to tell you about my experience as an HRAP Kenya participant. I was very excited to find out that I would be going to Kenya this summer, it has been a dream come true that I will be able to travel to far places and now I will have that opportunity. This will not only be a traveling experience but to experience Kenyan lives, explore their human rights and create awareness of the issues that Kenyans face today. I really looking forward to going on this trip because it is a once in a lifetime experience that I know will impact my life forever. No one realizes that there are many issues that affect other people; partly because of the media no one is aware of any of these problems and with this trip I will be able to show that youth can make the change that is needed for the children and adults of Kenya and maybe, in the future, the world.

Today is the second day of the training and it feels like tomorrow is the day that we leave for Kenya. I cannot wait. We're going to meet so many people and experience so many things. We're going to try new foods talk to other youths and adapt to the different customs than we are used to here. Its going to be soooooooo coool. I just want to leave now and not come back. I really didn't think that I would have the opportunity to go to a place where here in the U.S. so many people believe that Africa is a country and its the worst place to go to. When I come back I'm going to let people know what Africa is as good as any other place and maybe even better. It's just so sad that people eat anything that TV throws at them.

In Kenya we will be facilitating workshops, planting trees and just having fun. I'm really excited about the safari. The closest that I've come to animals is going to the zoo and just looking at them from behind a gate. Now I'll be able to watch the animals in their natural habitat doing what they do. What's even more cool the place that we're going to stay there will be a big fence surrounding the building to keep THE ANIMALS OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait

Hello everyone!
My Name is Nurys Laureano and I'm going to the HRAP Kenya trip July 09'. I am extremely excited to go on this trip, I've been waiting all my life to actually go to Africa; anywhere in Africa! When we go to Kenya I'm looking forward to doing a lot of things and going through a lot of adventures. I Want to try all the cool foods they have and different clothing they wear. Though I know Its not going to be all fun and games, we're going to Kenya with a purpose and that purpose is to be dealing with environmental issues that they face and we're going to working with organizations like the "Green Belt Movement" and "Youth alive! Kenya". we are going to be planting trees with the "GBM" and we are going to give workshops about human rights issues to the "Youth Alive! Kenya" organization. We are going to feel what they feel and try to walk in their shoes I know Kenya is going to be a great experience and I know that we are going to get a lot of work done and accomplish a lot of our ideas. Also I know we are going to become closer and build a friendship with so many memories.

Hey everyone this is Kojo Acheampong and I am highly happy to go to Kenya during the summer time. I am so excited to engage myself in the future of our world by traveling overseas to learn about human rights and also get involved in civic youth engagement activities with my other friends and leaders. We can help make change in our world by empowering the youth with their freedom of education and a say in their government. As a young kid my life was dedicated to my grandmother more than anyone else because my grandmother never abused me. But now all that I see around me is abuse and use of violence against young individuals and I am looking forward to doing my part to change it.
