This summer has been full of travel for Rainey Media, but one of the definite highlights was returning to the Giwa Farms IDP settlement in Rongai, Kenya. We were there in 2011 to film a documentary on the primary school being built, and this year we returned with World Teacher Aid to film a new set of promos highlighting the educational needs of the children there.

I was amazed to see how great the primary school looks. Since our last visit, they’ve painted the school, added gardens, and opened the administration building. The entire community has such enormous pride in there school. It’s no wonder that the high school (above) that WTA is sponsoring is almost completed too!

Also, I was surprised by how many of the kids remembered us from the previous trip. I think the fact that we returned to see them again really means a lot to them. As little as they have, they are a community full of life, love, and laughter!
