-From a rural haven in Wales to one

-of the world's biggest urban slums.

0:00:110:00:16

-Two schools come together

-for a unique exchange programme.

0:00:170:00:20

-This year, four children

-will come from Kenya to Wales...

0:00:210:00:25

-..to perform with children

-from Ysgol Gynradd Nefyn...

0:00:250:00:28

-..at the Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:00:290:00:30

-Joy Brown is an art teacher

-who lives in Nefyn.

0:00:490:00:52

-Last year, she was inspired by

-the work of Anno's Africa charity.

0:00:530:00:57

-She started on the process of

-twinning Ysgol Gynradd Nefyn...

0:00:580:01:02

-..with Spurgeons Academy Nairobi.

0:01:020:01:04

-Her ambition is to bring the pupils

-together to perform a song...

0:01:050:01:08

-..during the Urdd Eisteddfod...

0:01:090:01:11

-..which is being held near Nefyn

-in the Snowdonia area.

0:01:120:01:15

-The pupils of the two schools

-have become friends.

0:01:160:01:20

-They send letters and photos

-to each other...

0:01:200:01:23

-..and gain an insight

-into the reality of both worlds.

0:01:230:01:26

-Joy is about to travel to Kenya...

0:01:270:01:29

-..to visit the children

-of the Kibera slum...

0:01:290:01:32

-..and experience their world

-with her own eyes.

0:01:320:01:35

-Hello, Auntie Joy.

0:01:350:01:36

-Hello, Auntie Joy.

-

-Hello, how are you?

0:01:360:01:38

-ALL: Good morning.

0:01:380:01:40

-I don't know anything about Kibera.

0:01:410:01:43

-The children, the teachers and I

-have all learnt together.

0:01:430:01:46

-I had to look into it

-and do a lot of research.

0:01:460:01:52

-When you type in the name Kibera to

-a search engine on the Internet...

0:01:530:02:00

-..the images that appear

-are harrowing.

0:02:000:02:04

-The colour of their skin, their

-background and their language...

0:02:060:02:10

-..have all been irrelevant.

0:02:100:02:13

-It's just a matter of having friends

-who need help.

0:02:130:02:18

-That's so lovely.

-There's a certain innocence to it.

0:02:180:02:22

-That's the principle

-we're working from.

0:02:230:02:26

-Right, I'm off.

-A big kiss to all of you.

0:02:270:02:31

-I'll see you.

-Asanti Sana - thank you very much.

0:02:310:02:34

-What do you say?

0:02:360:02:37

-What do you say?

-

-ALL: Goodbye.

0:02:370:02:39

-Ta-ra, love.

0:02:460:02:48

-Have a good time.

0:02:480:02:50

-See you later.

0:02:500:02:52

-Bye.

0:02:520:02:53

-Ta-ra, Morgan, Maggie, Winnie

-- and the rest.

0:02:550:02:59

-"Good morning. We do hope you've had

-a very pleasant flight so far.

0:03:090:03:13

-"Just to let you know,

-it is exactly 6.25am in Nairobi.

0:03:150:03:20

-"We'll shortly be starting

-our descent."

0:03:210:03:24

-An old friend of Joy's, Bee Gilbert,

-welcomes her to Nairobi.

0:03:310:03:36

-She set up the charity

-Anno's Africa...

0:03:360:03:38

-..following the death of her son

-Anno in a car accident in 2001.

0:03:380:03:42

-Did you sleep?

0:03:420:03:43

-Did you sleep?

-

-No!

0:03:430:03:44

-You didn't sleep at all?

0:03:440:03:46

-Kibera is one of the largest

-urban slums in Africa.

0:04:080:04:11

-It has a population of over

-1 million residents...

0:04:120:04:15

-..packed into an area covering

-nearly one square mile.

0:04:150:04:18

-They live in terrible poverty.

0:04:180:04:21

-They lack basic services such as

-an official electricity supply...

0:04:210:04:25

-..a sewage system,

-toilets and running water.

0:04:260:04:29

-They still have to pay a high rent

-for the privilege of living there.

0:04:290:04:33

-Only a small percentage of children

-from Kenya's slums go to school.

0:04:380:04:42

-The pupils of Spurgeons Academy

-are the lucky ones.

0:04:430:04:47

-Because of fatal disease

-such as malaria and typhoid...

0:04:470:04:50

-..the sad reality is that

-a percentage of the pupils...

0:04:500:04:54

-..will die

-before reaching the age of 18.

0:04:540:04:57

-You should come to school properly

-dressed, at the right time.

0:04:590:05:05

-You should attend prayers.

0:05:050:05:08

-When we arrived...

0:05:080:05:09

-.the children were having

-some sort of meeting in the morning.

0:05:090:05:13

-This man was talking.

-He had a Bible in his hand.

0:05:140:05:20

-Some of the children

-were looking around.

0:05:210:05:23

-I felt the urge to tell them

-to turn around and listen.

0:05:240:05:27

-Of course,

-it had nothing to do with me!

0:05:270:05:30

-I want you to do this

-to the teachers behind.

0:05:300:05:34

-Only academic subjects

-are taught at Spurgeons...

0:05:350:05:39

-..including Swahili, English,

-Maths and Science.

0:05:400:05:43

-The school has no computers

-or projectors...

0:05:430:05:46

-..and they must all share the books.

0:05:460:05:48

-The four pupils

-who will travel to Wales...

0:05:490:05:52

-..Victoria, Virginia,

-Wilson and Frederick...

0:05:530:05:56

-..start their school day at 6.30am

-and often finish at 6.00pm.

0:05:560:06:01

-Not only does Spurgeons

-offer education...

0:06:010:06:04

-..it offers a safe haven

-away from the dangers of the slum.

0:06:040:06:08

-In comparison with other children

-in Kibera...

0:06:080:06:11

-..Spurgeons' pupils are very lucky.

0:06:120:06:14

-Most children will never experience

-a classroom or a school yard.

0:06:140:06:19

-They are expected to stay at home

-to help look after their siblings...

0:06:190:06:23

-..and care for any sick relatives.

0:06:230:06:25

-ALL: Two, three, four,

-five, six, seven.

0:06:260:06:31

-At last, after looking forward

-to it so much...

0:06:320:06:35

-..Joy has a chance to meet the four

-pupils who will travel to Wales.

0:06:360:06:40

-She presents them with a book

-full of messages of goodwill.

0:06:400:06:44

-When they knew I was coming here...

0:06:440:06:48

-..all of the school wanted to

-send something to Spurgeons Academy.

0:06:480:06:54

-I'll show you quickly.

-Look at the pictures.

0:06:540:06:57

-You might like the pictures.

0:06:570:07:00

-You can read these later.

0:07:000:07:02

-Which one of those

-do you think lives in Nefyn?

0:07:100:07:13

-This is...

0:07:130:07:14

-This is...

-

-No!

0:07:140:07:15

-Freddie!

0:07:210:07:22

-We thought it would be nice for you

-to have a special friend...

0:07:260:07:30

-..while you're staying

-over at Nefyn.

0:07:300:07:32

-So we found you four friends.

0:07:330:07:35

-You've never met them before.

0:07:360:07:38

-So that you can see who they are,

-watch this and listen carefully.

0:07:390:07:44

-Hi. My name's Bes

-and I'm 11 years old.

0:07:450:07:47

-I'm going to be friends

-with Victoria.

0:07:480:07:51

-I'm looking forward to going to

-Pwllheli to see the Olympic torch.

0:07:520:07:56

-Hi. I'm Rhys and I'm 10 years old.

0:07:580:08:01

-I'm going to be friends with Wilson.

0:08:010:08:03

-Everyone in school is looking

-forward to seeing you four.

0:08:030:08:07

-Hi. I'm Bedwyr, I'm 10 years old.

-I'm going to be Frederick's friend.

0:08:090:08:13

-I'm looking forward

-to playing football with you.

0:08:130:08:16

-Hi. I'm Chloe, I'm 10 years old.

-I'm going to be Virginia's friend.

0:08:180:08:22

-I'm looking forward to do work

-with you on the seaside.

0:08:220:08:26

-They're quite shy as well.

0:08:270:08:30

-Today was the day I was dreading

-the most. We went into Kibera slum.

0:08:320:08:38

-I didn't know what to expect.

0:08:390:08:42

-We all knew it was going to be

-a dirty place...

0:08:420:08:47

-..a poor place

-and that there would be a bad smell.

0:08:480:08:52

-The journey to Frederick's home...

0:08:520:08:56

-..was much much worse

-than I had imagined.

0:08:560:09:00

-To think that he walks that way

-every day...

0:09:040:09:07

-..and we had nice weather for it

-today really.

0:09:070:09:11

-When it rains... I had to hold onto

-the corrugated iron at times.

0:09:110:09:18

-It was better to do that

-than fall into the dirt.

0:09:180:09:21

-I held onto the wood

-holding the huts together.

0:09:210:09:26

-We could hardly go into his home.

0:09:310:09:37

-There was a curtain across.

0:09:380:09:40

-Behind that was their sleeping area.

0:09:410:09:45

-They have no bedroom or anything.

0:09:460:09:49

-There was no kitchen.

0:09:500:09:52

-There was a narrow corridor

-and houses around.

0:09:520:09:55

-There were children everywhere.

0:09:560:10:01

-The only thing I have at home which

-is smaller than where they live...

0:10:010:10:06

-..is the hen house.

0:10:060:10:09

-The horses live in a bigger place.

0:10:090:10:12

-Even the cement mixer

-has more space.

0:10:130:10:16

-Yet, there were chairs

-and nice accessories on the seats.

0:10:170:10:24

-There are no toilets in the houses.

-They use plastic bags.

0:10:250:10:29

-When they've finished with it,

-they just throw it away.

0:10:290:10:33

-We realized that these plastic bags

-were piled up on top of each other.

0:10:330:10:38

-They form some sort of foundation

-to keep everything together.

0:10:390:10:43

-Victoria is an only child.

0:10:480:10:50

-Her mother is well informed

-about the scheme...

0:10:500:10:53

-..and is happy for her daughter

-to travel to Wales.

0:10:530:10:56

-While arranging a passport for

-Victoria was relatively easy...

0:10:560:11:00

-..a few days before Joy's visit...

0:11:010:11:03

-..Victoria nearly lost the sight

-in her right eye.

0:11:030:11:07

-This led to doubt over whether

-she would be able to come to Wales.

0:11:070:11:11

-Victoria has been very excited

-about the trip.

0:11:120:11:17

-Actually, she wants to stay longer.

0:11:170:11:20

-She thinks two weeks

-is a short time.

0:11:200:11:22

-But you know,

-we can only wait and see...

0:11:220:11:25

-.if she would like to stay

-after going there.

0:11:250:11:28

-Recently, Frederick's dad, James,

-lost his job.

0:11:310:11:35

-At about the same time,

-Frederick's uncle died...

0:11:350:11:39

-..leaving James in charge

-of his brother's five children...

0:11:390:11:43

-..as well as his own four.

0:11:430:11:44

-I'm a teacher in Wales.

0:11:460:11:50

-As a result, the family decided

-to move to the countryside.

0:11:510:11:55

-But after hearing about

-the exchange programme...

0:11:550:11:58

-..James and his son

-returned to Kibera...

0:11:580:12:00

-..so that Frederick

-could travel to Wales.

0:12:000:12:03

-Frederick was a mischievous child.

0:12:040:12:06

-James couldn't entrust him

-to anyone else's care.

0:12:060:12:10

-He came back to Kibera...

0:12:100:12:12

-..on condition that his son

-worked harder and was well behaved.

0:12:120:12:16

-What surprised me was just one week

-after Frederick came back...

0:12:190:12:24

-..the father came along and told me

-the boy had really changed.

0:12:240:12:29

-The father comes late

-in the evening...

0:12:290:12:31

-..and finds Frederick has done the

-plates and is busy with his books.

0:12:320:12:35

-The father thought

-that was not the Frederick he knew.

0:12:360:12:39

-Ever since Frederick was chosen

-to be on this trip...

0:12:390:12:43

-..he's the only one who has been

-asking me almost every other day...

0:12:430:12:48

-..how soon

-they will be going to Wales.

0:12:480:12:51

-I think he's really looking forward

-to the Wales trip.

0:12:510:12:54

-That's really nice.

-Five, six, seven and...

0:13:070:13:10

-Preparations continue for four

-pupils from Spurgeons Academy...

0:13:100:13:15

-..in Kibera slum, Nairobi...

0:13:150:13:16

-..to visit Nefyn

-during the Eryri Urdd Eisteddfod.

0:13:170:13:20

-Every year, for three months...

0:13:200:13:22

-..a group of drama, dance, art,

-music and circus skills teachers...

0:13:220:13:27

-..travel to Nairobi

-to hold workshops.

0:13:270:13:30

-The aim of Anno's Africa is to give

-children the opportunity...

0:13:310:13:34

-..to enjoy and play

-just like children in Wales.

0:13:350:13:37

-In the Kenyan system,

-there's very little emphasis...

0:13:390:13:42

-..on extra-curricular activities.

0:13:420:13:44

-There's much more emphasis

-on academic problems...

0:13:450:13:48

-..at the expense of

-any extra-curricular...

0:13:480:13:51

-..or other activities

-recommended by the ministry.

0:13:510:13:55

-But again, being a school

-of our kind...

0:13:550:13:59

-..one that serves children who are

-often orphaned and vulnerable...

0:13:590:14:05

-..in the middle of a slum,

-there are lots of challenges.

0:14:050:14:10

-So I think focusing

-on academics alone...

0:14:110:14:15

-..was not going to be very positive.

0:14:150:14:19

-It wasn't going to benefit

-all the kids.

0:14:190:14:22

-I thought that

-there was a need also to see...

0:14:220:14:27

-..if we could nurture talents...

0:14:270:14:29

-..so that kids could also make use

-of that to earn a living.

0:14:300:14:36

-It's Welsh for

-"She rocks me to sleep."

0:14:420:14:47

-Over the last few months, pupils

-from Anno's Africa music workshop...

0:14:480:14:52

-..have composed a song called Mama

-in Swahili.

0:14:520:14:55

-The song has now been translated

-into Welsh...

0:14:550:14:59

-..so that children from both schools

-can perform it at the Eisteddfod.

0:14:590:15:04

-SHE READS OUT WELSH TRANSLATION

-OF SONG

0:15:060:15:10

-ALL: "She's my carer and teacher"

0:15:110:15:13

-"She's my carer"

0:15:140:15:16

-"She's my carer"

-

-"She's my carer

0:15:160:15:18

-"..and teacher

0:15:190:15:20

-"She's my carer and teacher

0:15:210:15:25

-"She rocks me to sleep

0:15:260:15:29

0:15:300:15:31

0:15:350:15:38

-Virginia and Wilson are the other

-two pupils who hope to visit Nefyn.

0:16:280:16:32

-Virginia is the youngest of the four

-and she's only seven years old.

0:16:320:16:36

-Her father died

-soon after her birth.

0:16:370:16:39

-She has been brought up

-by her mother, Emily...

0:16:390:16:42

-..who's a teacher at Spurgeons

-and they are very close.

0:16:420:16:45

-There were concerns that Virginia

-was too young for the scheme.

0:16:450:16:49

-But it was decided that Emily

-could travel to Wales too...

0:16:490:16:53

-..to look after the children.

0:16:530:16:55

-If you study Virginia and the mother

-and the way they relate...

0:16:550:17:02

-..Virginia is always

-with her mother.

0:17:030:17:05

-Everywhere the mother goes,

-Virginia is with her.

0:17:060:17:09

-They're at home and they're

-together, the two of them.

0:17:090:17:12

-They walk around...

0:17:120:17:14

-..and you'll find them holding hands

-and walking together.

0:17:140:17:17

-Since the mother learned that

-she was going to be on the trip...

0:17:170:17:21

-..they're a happier family.

0:17:210:17:23

-Wilson's charisma

-melts the heart in an instant.

0:17:400:17:45

-Following the murder of his father,

-his mother turned her back on him.

0:17:460:17:50

-She left him in the care of his aunt

-in Dagoretti...

0:17:500:17:53

-..another slum,

-a 20-minute train ride away.

0:17:530:17:56

-Wilson cannot afford

-the price of a ticket...

0:17:560:17:59

-..so he sneaks onto the train

-every day.

0:17:590:18:01

-His family history

-is a little unique.

0:18:050:18:07

-The nastiest bit of it is that

-Wilson witnessed his father's death.

0:18:070:18:12

-He was a young boy.

0:18:130:18:15

-He's been a traumatized boy.

0:18:160:18:18

-Because of his complex situation...

0:18:190:18:21

-..applying for a passport for

-Wilson was quite a challenge.

0:18:210:18:24

-There was no paperwork to prove

-that his aunt is his legal guardian.

0:18:250:18:30

-At times, he is very low.

0:18:380:18:39

-His aunt would call me

-and tell me he was crying...

0:18:390:18:42

-..because he thought

-he wasn't going to make the trip.

0:18:430:18:46

-But anyway,

-eventually it worked out.

0:18:460:18:50

-Of all the kids

-going into the trip...

0:18:570:19:01

-..he's the only one who's had

-a sort of mixed kind of response.

0:19:010:19:06

-At times, his has been excitement

-and yet at times he's been very low.

0:19:070:19:14

-I've become very close to Frederick,

-Wilson, Virginia and Victoria.

0:19:160:19:23

-The problem is that I now feel

-for those individual children...

0:19:250:19:31

-..rather than all the children

-as one group.

0:19:320:19:36

-Yes, I feel for all the children but

-when you get to know them well...

0:19:360:19:41

-..you start feeling for them

-personally.

0:19:410:19:44

-It was a great help

-to have Oscar there.

0:19:450:19:48

-We could communicate well and we

-talked about all kinds of things.

0:19:480:19:54

-I learned a lot from him.

0:19:540:19:56

-That kept my mind off where

-I was going and what I would say.

0:19:580:20:02

-I thought I couldn't be

-more shocked.

0:20:050:20:11

-But one thing

-that was a big shock...

0:20:110:20:14

-..was when he said

-that many children die during rain.

0:20:150:20:19

-This is because

-of the electricity cables.

0:20:190:20:23

-He showed me one of them.

-It came up from the ground.

0:20:240:20:27

-There was a naked wire.

0:20:270:20:30

-There was live electricity in it.

0:20:310:20:34

-When it's dry, they can see them.

0:20:350:20:39

-When it rains, the whole place

-becomes one big pool.

0:20:390:20:44

-They just put their foot on it

-and that's it.

0:20:450:20:48

-They've lost quite a few children

-in this way, I think.

0:20:480:20:52

-To be honest,

-I came away feeling quite happy.

0:21:040:21:08

-In their eyes, they have more.

-They're determined.

0:21:110:21:17

-Their perseverance

-has carried them through.

0:21:180:21:21

-Hello, children of Nefyn!

0:21:380:21:40

-Are you behaving yourselves?

0:21:420:21:44

-Are you behaving yourselves?

-

-Yes!

0:21:440:21:45

-We're very excited

-to have everyone together. Are you?

0:21:460:21:49

-Yes.

0:21:510:21:53

-It's lovely to see all of you.

-We're all happy.

0:21:530:21:57

-Do you remember how to say

-thank you?

0:21:570:22:00

-Asanti Sana.

0:22:000:22:04

-Say "Diolch yn fawr".

0:22:040:22:06

-Can you say that?

0:22:060:22:08

-Diolch yn fawr.

0:22:080:22:10

-We'll see you tomorrow or Wednesday.

0:22:100:22:13

-Goodbye!

0:22:140:22:15

-Goodbye. Thank you.

0:22:160:22:18

-Ta-ra.

0:22:190:22:20

-They're full of hope.

0:22:520:22:54

-They don't want to leave.

0:22:550:22:57

-They have everything.

-It's so colourful.

0:22:580:23:02

-Today is Sunday

-and the church is very important.

0:23:030:23:06

-Again, the church

-is made out of zinc.

0:23:070:23:10

-All the buildings are the same,

-they just have different names.

0:23:100:23:14

-THEY SING AFRICAN MUSIC

0:23:150:23:18

-They have a strength of spirit

-that many of us should envy.

0:23:400:23:46

-We have a lot, in some ways,

-but they have a lot as well.

0:23:490:23:54

-It would be nice if they could have

-a little of what we have...

0:23:550:23:59

-..and if we could have a little

-of what they have.

0:24:000:24:03
