0:00:04 > 0:00:09Today, two schools on different sides of the planet will collide.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Firth Park in Sheffield and the Memusi School in Kenya
0:00:12 > 0:00:16are 4,000 miles apart.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Two of our Year 7s are bridging the gap.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Hi!
0:00:19 > 0:00:23For Olivia and Roman, it's the trip of a lifetime.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24I'm scared.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26But nobody said it was going to be easy.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Meet our new Year 7.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Sick bucket!
0:00:33 > 0:00:37It's the most important school year of their life so far.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Haircut, sir?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41They're all starting here together.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45That level of noise is absolutely disgusting.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Yes!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56This has seen better days.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00You stinked her.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06CBBC have filled the entire place with cameras,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09so you'll get to watch Year 7 every step of the way.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Oh!- Stop waving at me! - Yeah!
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Hello, I'm Mr Jones.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I'm a maths teacher here at Our School,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18and every time that you're here, I'm going to be here too.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Right now, I'm late for a lesson. Excuse me.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Come on in.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25# Our school! #
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Boom, mic drop.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Year 7 have been raising money for the Memusi Foundation,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35which builds and runs schools in Kenya,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39giving a life-saving education in one of the poorest parts of Africa.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40£3 please.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Our students have built businesses...- It's too much.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44..taught teachers to rap...
0:01:44 > 0:01:47# Get your sums right and your brain'll get bigger! #
0:01:47 > 0:01:49..and had a few close shaves.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Oh, my God!- Go, go, go, go!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55But today, our two school ambassadors, Olivia and Roman,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59with Miss Ahmed, are embarking on their biggest adventure ever.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01They're going to Kenya.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch it, Roman!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06The whole journey will take nearly a day.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08May I have your passport, please?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12All our bags have gone, so we can't get them back,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14so this thing is official.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17But I reckon Roman thinks he's off on holiday.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The thing I can't wait for is getting a tan.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I'll be tanned for the first time in my life.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24I'm feeling pretty nervous,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27cos I haven't been on a flight since, like, I was two.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Anyway, if you experience turbulence,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- you can put them oxygen things on your face.- Why?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- So you can breathe in oxygen. - Yeah, but what's turbulence?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- It's, like, when the plane shakes in the air.- Why does it shake?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Thanks, Roman. Very comforting.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Right then, you've got a plane to catch.
0:02:42 > 0:02:4426, 27, 28!
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Seat belts on, and off we go.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Now that wasn't so bad, were it?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03It's an eight-hour, 4,000-mile flight to Kenya.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Finally, they've arrived.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Goodbye!- Bye!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10We're in Africa! This is Africa!
0:03:12 > 0:03:17I overcame my fear of flying, so that's good.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18So tired though.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19But it's not over yet.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23There's still a four-hour minibus ride to the school.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Roman and Olivia have been travelling for nearly a day,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33so this is the quiet bit. Shh!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43But they'd better wake up, as it's time to say "Jambo!"
0:03:43 > 0:03:46to the pupils of the Memusi School.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Wow, this is the school!
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Jambo means "Hello" in Swahili.
0:03:52 > 0:04:00SINGING
0:04:01 > 0:04:06SINGING CONTINUES
0:04:06 > 0:04:08It's so pretty!
0:04:10 > 0:04:11# Welcome!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13# Welcome, Roman, Welcome, Olivia... #
0:04:13 > 0:04:18There's a big welcome from Ann, who's one of the teachers here.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I want us to go and sing with them.
0:04:21 > 0:04:29SINGING CONTINUES
0:04:48 > 0:04:49CHEERING
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Wow! I wish I got greeted like that at school every day.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55At the moment, I'm feeling, like, really emotional and happy,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57and, like, excited and everything.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I feel like I'm going to cry. That was just, like, amazing.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02What just happened was amazing.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08This school costs £36,000 a year to keep open.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Without the money our school have been helping to raise,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15the 360 pupils here would have nowhere to go.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16For the next three days,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Olivia and Roman will see how their fundraising is changing lives.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- This is Faith, this is Olivia.- Hi!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Faith and Ali are going to show them around.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- This is your new friend from Britain.- Jambo!
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- How old are you, then? - I am 10 years old.- I'm 11, so I'm...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- You are a big girl!- Yeah!
0:05:37 > 0:05:38When's your birthday?
0:05:38 > 0:05:4012th October.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- October.- Yeah. - Mine is the 10th of October.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- So, two days before yours.- Yeah.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Me and Ali have, like, a lot in common,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51but we also have a lot of differences.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53After you finish school, what do you like to do?
0:05:53 > 0:05:58- To play football.- Football, is that your favourite thing?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Football is, like, down at the bottom of the list,
0:06:00 > 0:06:01all the way over there.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02I do not like football.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Could you teach me any Swahili?
0:06:05 > 0:06:10When you say "Hakuna matata", it means there is no problem.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11How do you say school?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- School? Shule.- Shule.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Like, how do you say, like, friend and things?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Say "Rafiki".- Rafiki.- Yes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- So, are me and you rafikis?- Yes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30The school has three break times every day.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35It's a chance for Olivia to meet some new friends.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Looks like she could be very popular around here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- How old are you?- I'm 11.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Roman is your brother? - Oh, no, Roman's not my brother.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44I have two sisters.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Meanwhile, Roman's telling the lads about his dream job.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Do you watch the TV, and you see people dancing on shows?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54A choreographer is a person who makes them dances up.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- What would you like to be? - I'd like to be a civil engineer.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Engineer?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- ALL:- My mother was washing the clothes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08My mother me gave a piece of soap. Which colour was it?
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Time for class.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15The students here study English, Swahili, religious studies,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18science and my favourite, maths.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Good afternoon, class. - ALL:- Good afternoon!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25As we got to our seats, everybody stood up and was like
0:07:25 > 0:07:27"Good morning, ma'am."
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- How are you? - ALL:- We are fine, thank you.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Sit down. - ALL:- Thank you, ma'am.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35They have a lot more respect here.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Like, in the UK if a teacher asked you to do that, they'd be like,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40"No!"
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Speaking English in lessons is good practice for the students here,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45and may help them in their future careers.
0:07:45 > 0:07:4814 plus a box is equal to 20.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Yeah, Ali?
0:07:53 > 0:07:5520, take out 14.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Six.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Wow! Can you clap for him?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Thank you, Ali.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Every time Miss asked a question, everybody was like,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06"Teacher, teacher, teacher, teacher!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Teacher!- Teacher!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Like, in our maths class, if we said "Teacher, teacher, teacher,"
0:08:13 > 0:08:15we'd get a C1, and that's just, like, a shouting at.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Teacher, teacher!- Teacher!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Everyone was all keen to learn...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Want to try that one?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25..whereas, like, if we were in the UK,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27you struggle to get people to put their hands up.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28It's like, "Right, what's the answer?"
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Everyone's like...
0:08:30 > 0:08:31SHE GROANS
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's lunchtime.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Just like back home, there's always a queue.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Food is scarce in this part of Kenya.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45The school gives its students a diet of beans and maize.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48For some, this is their only meal of the day.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Unfortunately, our Roman is the world's pickiest eater.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- I'm scared, Olivia. - Oh, God, you need to chill.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01I can't chill, I'm scared.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Roman was terrified.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07We were in the line and Roman was already practically shaking.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- I'm scared.- No, don't be.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Thank you.- Welcome.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Looks weird. - It don't taste like that, though.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I don't know. I'm scared to eat it.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Come on, Roman. Get it down you!
0:09:26 > 0:09:27I'm scared.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Olivia, show him how it's done.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Three, two, one.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Ooh, it's really sweet. Nice!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40How did you like that?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Is that oil? There's little bubbles in it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Isn't oil what you put in cars?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- I'm scared. - You know, if you don't put that in,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm going to put it in your mouth.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58It smelled like an old lady's fart.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00It smelled horrible.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11The first bite of it's sweet, but then when you crunch into it,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14it's really salty and it's not really nice.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Can we have a tissue? I'm going to spit it out.- Aww!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I can't dare to swallow it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I kind of felt like that was a bit rude.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Because they were sat there, eating it,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26while Roman was turning his nose up at it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Does anyone want mine? Do you want mine, Ali?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Roman, what?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Roman might not be a fan, but for Ali,
0:10:33 > 0:10:34this food is a lifeline.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Do you like the food?- Yes.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Yes. I don't like it, me.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- You see me eat this one every day. - Every day?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- The people that are hungry in Kenya, they eat this.- Why?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Because food is food.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48It's all...
0:10:50 > 0:10:51..that we can get.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00I feel, like, very grateful and lucky for what I have at home now,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02because we have, like, loads of different foods
0:11:02 > 0:11:03and different varieties.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Wow. We are very lucky and very, like, privileged.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17It's 3pm and the school day's over.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Faith has invited Olivia around to her house.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Do you like your house?- Yes.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24- Is it cool inside?- Yes.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Yes. Away from the heat.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30The heat is intense. It's really hot.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35The heat was just like, "Oh, my goodness!"
0:11:37 > 0:11:41The sun is just directly on you at all times, constantly.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Take that.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Do you like them?- Yes.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I thought I'd like it being really, really hot, but I actually don't.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54It's actually really horrible, so I'd like it to be cold now.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56This is my house.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Hello!- How are you? - I'm fine, thank you. How are you?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Welcome.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- What's your name?- Isabel.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Isabel? That's a pretty name.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09My little sister's called Isabel.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Faith's father is a carpenter,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15and actually built the home where the family of five live.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I thought our house was small, but when I saw that house,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20it was the size of, like, my living room.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21We've got five people living in our house,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23and they've got five people living in their house.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The difference is huge.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Which room is this?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- The kitchen.- Kitchen?- Yeah.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30So, is this, like, where your fire goes and everything?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33There, we get fire from this side, you see?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Do you use all of these things to cook in?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38This one you can see here, I use all these you can see here now.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I was thinking, "This is how they live?"
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Like, it kind of shocked me. I don't know what I expected.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48This is my bedroom, me and my sister.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51There's only two beds, and this is, like, a family of five.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Does it normally get kind of squashed or squished in here?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Yes.- Yeah.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Ali lives just around the corner from Faith.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Jambo! Welcome.- Thank you.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I'm Hassan, the father of Ali.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Ali's dad is a teacher,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07a job which allows him to support his family of six.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Ooh!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I thought it'd be smaller than this, but it's actually really nice.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Ali sleeps there.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17There, container for water.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Water, water.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Families here don't have running water,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24so they collect and store it in these tubs.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Ali's television, and his brothers and sisters.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30We have tellies. I didn't think that'd be, like, a thing in here.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Yeah, I bought for the kids. They watch the news.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I think it's quite boring, me.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I don't really like the news at home,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38so I don't really watch it, me.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Why do you think it's important to watch the news?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42To know what is going on in this world.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45There's plenty for Roman to think about,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and a parting gift from Ali.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49- See you at school tomorrow.- Yeah.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- Thank you for the necklace. - You're welcome.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56So, that's the end of our first day at the school.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Roman and Olivia are staying nearby, and it's an early night,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02as tomorrow's going to be a very busy day.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Hey, it's like the Lion King, isn't it?
0:14:16 > 0:14:21The sun comes up on the beautiful African plains spilling light...
0:14:21 > 0:14:22HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Sorry, I got a bit carried away there.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Anyway, we're up early to meet a young man called Caleb.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31His family are Maasai, the oldest culture in Kenya.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32- Hello.- Hi!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Hello.- Hi!- Hi.- You OK?- Yeah.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Caleb values his education so much that he makes a 7km trip
0:14:40 > 0:14:42to school every day.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- How long does it take you to get to school?- 30 minutes.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- 30 minutes.- Yeah.- So do you run to get to school?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Yes.- Because I only have to walk up the road to my school,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51it's like five, ten minutes away,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54it's like really, like... take it for granted, yeah.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Would you like walk with me to school?- Yeah.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Caleb usually runs this route, sometimes in 40 degrees heat.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08We're taking a slower pace today.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I have to be in school at seven.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12What time do you get up?
0:15:12 > 0:15:13- From home?- Yeah.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- 6.30.- 6.30?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Wow. On the walk, does it get really hot?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Yeah.- Yes.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Do you ever wish there was a bus that could come pick you up?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28He risks his life with, like, dangerous animals around,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30and he runs as well, just to get to school.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32He does that two times a day every single day.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Do you ever hurt your feet?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Yeah.- Yes. Do your shoes get broken a lot?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Yes.- How many pairs of shoes do you have?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- One pair of shoes. - One pair of shoes.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I have, like, a full drawer of shoes, like Vans, Converse
0:15:47 > 0:15:50and all that, and most of them I don't even use.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- He has one pair.- All right, Roman.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55At this pace, we're going to be very late
0:15:55 > 0:15:56to get the school, aren't we?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Yeah.- Shall we jump on the bus for the rest of the way?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Yeah. Do you want to run, see who can get fastest to the bus?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Yeah.- No, wait.- His daily run means Caleb is pretty fit.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Do you reckon you can keep up, Roman?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Three, two, one, go!
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Go on, Roman!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22You won!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Are you tired?- No.- What?!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28The walk with Caleb was, like, a really big wake-up call for me.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31After that, I was taking it a bit more serious and, like,
0:16:31 > 0:16:32not just a holiday any more.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39They're just in time for the school assembly.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Not a bad idea, doing it outside.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Wish we could try this back home.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46National anthem.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51# Oh, God of all creation
0:16:51 > 0:16:57# Bless this, our land and nation. #
0:16:57 > 0:16:59So then we go.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Roman is given a real honour, raising the Kenyan flag.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Pull this one, pull this one, pull.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14He told me to pull it, like yank it, like yank, yank it,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17cos it wasn't moving, so I yanked it
0:17:17 > 0:17:19and it went ping and it flew off!
0:17:19 > 0:17:20KIDS LAUGH
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And everyone started laughing, but it wasn't my fault.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I felt so embarrassed and sorry.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Gently.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Pull gently. Gently.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29When assembly is over,
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Roman decides to show the students here a few of his favourite moves.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Hey, Macarena.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38They want you to dance!
0:17:44 > 0:17:46# Eh, Macarena! Ay!
0:17:53 > 0:17:55# Eh, Macarena! Ay!
0:18:03 > 0:18:05# Eh, Macarena! Ay! #
0:18:05 > 0:18:10And now Roman's bringing out the big guns with an Our School craze.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Right, everybody, take one arm and put the other arm out. - Like that.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- And put your head into your arm. - It's called dabbing.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Yay!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Everyone do it. One, two, three!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- ALL:- Hey!
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Yay!- As the Macarena spreads across the schoolyard...
0:18:34 > 0:18:37..Roman and Olivia have a chance to catch up with Ali and Faith.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39You celebrate the Christmas Day?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- BOTH:- Yeah.- What do you celebrate, how do you celebrate it?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45We go and dance and sing.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50# We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas
0:18:50 > 0:18:54# We wish you a Merry Christmas! And a happy New Year! #
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I kind of got shocked when they had Christmas because, like,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I didn't think that they'd celebrate it because they're out here,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03in the heat and the stuff like that,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I didn't think they'd have time to worry about Christmas.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Have you ever seen snow?- No.- No?!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10No snow, and not much rain either.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Do you guys have enough water here?
0:19:12 > 0:19:16No, no, no. It's not... We don't have enough water.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18With most homes in Kenya lacking running water,
0:19:18 > 0:19:22it's often children who have to go and fetch it for their families.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Is the water nice? - It's not nice water.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- It's not nice.- When you drink, you pain in stomach.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Stomach pains?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- Yes.- People here rely on rainwater to stay alive, but it can sit
0:19:35 > 0:19:37in dirty containers for days.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Does it make you ill?- Yes.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41What does it do?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45It makes us very sick.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Have you ever had it?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Yes.- Yes.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Is it horrible?- Yes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54When we drink water, we just drink it, but they drink it thinking,
0:19:54 > 0:19:55"This could make me ill,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58"this could, like, have a really bad impact on my health."
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Life is tough out here, but the school provides an education
0:20:02 > 0:20:05that could give its pupils a real future,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08setting them up for careers that could change their lives.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Without the school, they'd have nothing.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14If, if there was no Memusi school, what would you have to do at home?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I'll help my mother in work,
0:20:17 > 0:20:21and my mother give me money and go to buy food,
0:20:21 > 0:20:25clothes, and shoes, so that's... I learn to write.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Yes. I don't want to die.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Wow.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35It kind of made me angry because they're young children
0:20:35 > 0:20:38and they are having to worry about their health,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40having to worry about are they going to die,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43have to worry about everything that we don't have to worry about.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Roman and Olivia have been away from their families for a few days now.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53I think it's time to call home.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Hi!- Hello, Isabel!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Hello, hello!
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Oh, hi!- Hello!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02You've got some rays, son.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I've got a tan line on my feet.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Oh, my God, I'm going to cry. - Don't cry.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08I can't help it.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11What's the school like, that Memusi school?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14The school, it's nice. You know the floor?
0:21:14 > 0:21:18It's no grass at all, it's just sand and dirt.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Oh, wow.- I met this girl called Faith.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Faith is 11 but she looks like an eight-year-old.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26And when she smiles, it's like, it's like a really cute smile.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Olivia's dad is away at work, but he's not going to miss out on this.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Dad said, "Are you enjoying it?"
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Yeah.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39As much as I've loved it here, I so need to come home.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I can't wait for you to come home, I have missed you.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Me too, I love you.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47So Olivia's homesick, but what about Roman?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48- Are you missing us?- A bit.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- A bit.- A bit?!- Yeah.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Right, sweetheart, have you got to go now?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Yeah.- Love you.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- SNIFFLES:- Love you.- Bye!
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Bye!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Bye!
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Bye!
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Bye!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Done.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13SHE SOBS
0:22:13 > 0:22:14I miss them so much.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I feel like it's worth it.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18If I hadn't have been able to leave my family,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I wouldn't have been able to do all this.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I weren't really that bothered by it because I know I'm
0:22:23 > 0:22:25going to see them on Sunday.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27For Roman and Olivia,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31it's been an incredible few days, but this is their last morning
0:22:31 > 0:22:32at the school.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37They brought some parting gifts for their new friends.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41So it's...it's my last day today, I'm going afterwards.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Olivia gets the chance to say goodbye to Faith.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Do you remember at the beginning?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Yes.- When you told me that we were friends.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Yes.- Well, I've got something for you so you can remember me
0:22:51 > 0:22:53when I'm not in Kenya. I've got you this scarf.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- That's for you.- Thank you.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58And I got you this.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00It's like a necklace, a necklace and some earrings.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Wow.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Thank you!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I'm going to miss you when we go.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09And me too, I miss you when you go home.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Hello!
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I've got a surprise for you - do you want to see?
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Olivia, close his eyes.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Open. I got you some chewing gum to chew on.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26I also got you a hat to look like a cool dude and swag.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29A snapback.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Cool dude.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Swag!
0:23:35 > 0:23:36- Hello!- Hello!
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Roman had decided to give Caleb a pair of his own shoes.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Are they comfortable? - Yes, comfortable.- Your hat...
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Thank you.- Put it on.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51You want to come to play football with us?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Yeah, thanks. You can try your new shoes out, but bear in mind,
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- I cannot play football.- Let's go.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Hey, Roman, you're pretty good, actually.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19It's nearly time to go.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24But first, the school are throwing a goodbye assembly.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28I want to thank our friends Roman and Olivia.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Roman gave me his shoes and his cap.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Thank you.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36It is a good week.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I love our friends Roman and Olivia.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44They taught me to dance and they showed me dab like this.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I've really enjoyed my stay here.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I love how open and friendly everyone is.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Thank you, Memusi school!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I think this week's been one of the, like, best weeks of my life
0:25:01 > 0:25:06because I've met so many welcoming and warm, pleasant people,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09and I think this school is one of the best schools I've ever been to.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11CHEERING
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Now, Roman and Olivia have a chance to leave their mark on the school.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Looks quite fat!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30KIDS GIGGLE
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Out of ten, I think this trip has changed me like 11.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37At the start of the week, I was like, "The heat!
0:25:37 > 0:25:40"It's so hot!", like moaning and complaining a lot.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43But now I've realised that they have to put up with it every single day.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44I respect the people a lot more.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50This trip has definitely been the trip of a lifetime.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I would love to take back the kindness and the happiness
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- and the respect that they have here.- Olivia,
0:25:55 > 0:26:00you're going to leave your fingerprints at Memusi family.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03And just like give it out to the people of the UK,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and then maybe it would make the UK a lot more of a happy place,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10be a bit more joyful, and then understand how privileged we are.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Thank you.- Thank you. - You're welcome.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15I don't want to leave!
0:26:15 > 0:26:18And now, a traditional Kenyan farewell.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22THEY SING IN SWAHILI
0:26:46 > 0:26:47- Bye!- TEARFUL:- Bye!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Bye!
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Bye, bye!- KIDS:- Bye!

0:26:55 > 0:26:58I actually really seeing this, Roman?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01THEY SNIFFLE
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Goodbye!
0:27:07 > 0:27:12I'm so glad we came here, it's been a really fun experience.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Bye, everybody. Bye.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16- BOTH:- Bye!
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- KIDS SHOUT:- Bye! Bye!
0:27:29 > 0:27:31The adventure is over.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Not that way! - Strictly comes to Our School.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- One, two, three, four.- You can do good moves, I know you can.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Make it bigger!
0:27:48 > 0:27:49- Hello!- Hello!
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Hi!- Hello!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Didn't realise how much I'd miss you.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Group hug, family hug, we've missed you!
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Do I have to go to school tomorrow?
0:28:06 > 0:28:07Cup of tea, then bed.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- School in the morning. - School in the morning.
