@@julianmutua4931 sorry, no I haven't :( I'll keep trying and hopefully someone will reply soon with how we can help donate specifically to the kids in Kenya :)
I'm Kenyan but from a less dangerous region..I began walking to school at the age of three and a half (about 10km). Sometimes I walked crying and hungry. To cut long story short, I graduated from University with a law degree last year and now there is hope for a brighter future. All thanks to my parents who slept hungry at times to fund my education. *There is hope for this children, May the Almighty God see them through.
No toy, no cycle, no video game, no pizza, only one goal school, school, school. High dreams doctor, teacher, engineer. God bless them. So that they can change the next generation.
Very very true.. I am from masaai land and we used to walk for more than 6km to school every day through the savanna of amboseli park, but all those struggle made more stronger than before and now am at the university doing my degree. I thank God for his mercy. I really looking to help the other small children who undergoing this struggle to get education. I praying for them to have a bright future ahead.
@@SumitThapa-kk2zl am trying my level best by creating awareness about the situation. Meeting with students when on holiday and discuss on the issue. Thank you
May I ask a question? I'm so terrified by the video. Isn't the possibility of children being attacked by lions or leopards considerably high? Or do the carnivores usually not see human as their prey? The children seem cautious but not that worried. BTW, congratulate on your achievement!
I’m South Sudanese. I was born in Kenya and went to kindergarten and first grade in Nairobi, Kenya, due to Sudan’s civil war. I remember wearing green uniforms, getting beatings from teachers and singing the national anthem in English and Swahili back in the early 90’s. It’s one of my favorite anthems. I was sad when we moved to the U.S. We lived close to the capital city but this brings back happy memories for me. God bless you Kenya, for allowing us to go to your schools as refugees.
I hope they still don't beat their students but I think they do life for them is hard enough They need to stop that outdated practice that British Nuns did.
A 4 year old walking through that habitat like it's nothing for miles ? The bravery of these children is beyond anything I would've imagined. Much respect,much respect.
Yes the courage, the strength, the perseverance is something that not even the finest of school can teach. God bless these children with a humble heart ❤️
Although....these days one must have almost as much courage to go to one of Uncle Sam's schools....? with almost monthly killings ....... all with god's blessings....
I felt that way at first too. However, someone could look at my life and say the same thing. Your problems are your problems and just because other people have it worse than you doesn't make your problems any easier. At least that's how I feel.
Am Kenyan from the maasai community.this is exactly what I went through going to school with my elder brother...we walked for kilometers just to get education.. I thank GOD am now a graduate from Moi university..
I love how the adults of this community greet each child with a touch to the head- it is almost as if they are blessing the children for a safe journey to their destination.
I agree. We also have a similar way of greeting our elders here in the phiippines but instead of them rubbing our heads, we take their hands and lighty press our forehead in the back of their hands.
Samuel I absolutely agree!! I was thinking the same and also thought how great it would be to have kids in school watch these and then have the kids do some type of project about this. Having the kids do a project would be good in the sense of having them think about how other kids don't have much but they're happy! etc... Even the one boy said ''All I need in life is a goat and a cow''! Imagine Canadian,American etc... kids hearing that?
I love your prayer, but don't fear as I was already a part of a small group working to some solutions! The Jubilee riders had already made a small difference! As a South African my love for education in Africa remains a big goal! Watch this video... th-cam.com/video/jYNy2-SL72A/w-d-xo.html But continue to pray for the children of the Maasai. Love you lots! Johan South Africa!
They have a life they live different we in main society's have luxury and complain to God for not having more we can go to school but we often complain bout shoes clothes be grateful for everything I forget this to thank You Lord
Im a Kenyan from a different community,the experiences of these maasai children have left me humbled.I wish the schools would have a feeding programme for every child,its really sad for the kids to walk hungry all day😥.May God see them through their education and fulfill their dreams🙏
Yesterday I accidentally start watching this series and I don’t wanna stop 🤭 It makes me sad cry and upset. God bless to all human on earth and wishes for better life
You'd think they could get left overs and have to option to pay a small amount or do a small amount of sweeping or clean the chalkboard in exchange for food - especially to help them learn!
That's my former school. I was thrilled to see my brothers and some of my primary school friends there, but sad to not see myself. Ntuka Boarding Primary School. My experience was a bit different because I was a boarder. I only experienced the same experience during roundtests and opening days, especially during the rainy season. I am glad that I am a Master's student starting next year in a STEM course. Testimony of great determination and drive.
When the little one said that she wants to have water, tea and peas instead of tiresome journey; that time I was having lunch with lasagna, pea soup and fruit salad; literally tears rolled out of my eyes. Wish you best kids.
I've seen giant burgers on TV. So big that even elephants would have trouble stuffing in their mouths. A few bites and the rest go to the wastebasket. Here comes a bunch of kids that for weeks has been dreaming of eating meat and getting beans instead, but only because they were able to pay for boarding.
Thanks for sharing this. I am one of the children of the Savannah. I faced similar challenges while growing up and schooling. It was tough but we were tougher. Today I am a Masters of Science holder in Biotechnology and l live in North America. I started reaching out and mentoring both young girls and boys in elementary schools and high schools while I was still in Kenya and still plan to do so whenever I get a chance to visit my community.
I'm from Ghana and Kenya is the most expected country I want to visit in my life.. I love Africa and Kenya 🇰🇪 is my second home.. one love to every Kenyan
Being a Kenyan i thought i had it rough walking three kilometres to school barefooted but this one drove me to tears. May God bless every kid that is proud of their culture but ready to step into the world and prove that no matter where you come from, your dreams are valid. These are the stories that matter.
The part most of you did get is when the teacher asked the boy & girl why they were late they say (wazungu). It means the whites 😂 basically they white camera man made them late 😂.
Or he said wazungu because he didn’t want the teacher to punish him in front of them , because the teacher said what will he do If I punish you Been there
That part, I cried when she said that. That was from a place of pain and just being weary. But she kept going coz school was supposed to change her life. I know this is true for most, but if I was in these people's shoes I wouldn't have bothered sending my child to school. Most of us went through difficulties in our life, but what this kids have to endure just to get education was insane.
Yes in countries that care about their people. The worst continent to be a kid is Africa. Most of us have experienced such life in our childhood years.
@@VladmirPoopN yes I strongly believe so. I also agree that kids should eat but parents should never abdicate their duty in favor of tax payers carrying their load. I also acknowledge that in the face of heartbreaking property like this a welfare state makes more sense even if it borrows from future generations....... end note...
Remotest parts of the world are still operating like this. How will they get meals if they are far far away from most civilisations. Governments are usually focused on urban and semi-urban areas. They leave these tribal areas alone.
this documentary is very true i am a maasai too from Narok county and life was hard back then our biggest threat were the elephants and the Pokot raiders the lions mostly attacked during the day when herding. My biggest joy of going to school was because i used to get time to play with my fiends from few hills away those days there was nothing like free lunch at school, though maziwa ya nyayo came in handy. I do pray to God that one day i will be able to give back to my society and the entire country through education( ensuring that every child in this country goes to school and also teachers to improve their learner to teacher interactions during lessons). One throwback i really enjoyed was that during herding we always had that one friendly cow that we suckled milk from me and my friends which resulted to a beating in the evening by my dad but that didn't hurt much because we still did it again and again.
Good share Saitoti I was in boarding in Pokot in the mid-80s and can relate to seeing kids coming from distance from Nowhere!! And luckily in our traditions, we live and respect wild animals ,
Well said! Tight-knit community...and the kids on an empty stomach hold hands on their way to and from school as they dodge leopards, elephants and lions! I cried watching this.
I fell in love with beautiful Kenya when I was there, and the Maasai people. They have so little but are so hospitable and welcoming. I now sponsor two Maasai children to attend boarding school where they get fed and educated for the princely sum of a couple of takeaways for me. Watching those kid growing up and having dreams and plans for their future is totally worth it.
Hello am from Kenya and the only thing has made my tears to drop is the way they sing the national anthem ...while the government show no concern to them ,,,,I can't help it
I noticed that too yet we have a Ministry of Education sitting in Nairobi that's not addressing such urgent issues. So heartrending 😭😭😭😭😭. Provide transportation (boda boda), food, utilities, etc etc
I'm hooked. I can't stop watching documentaries on most dangerous ways to school. I told my daughter to watch this kind of documentaries so she will value her education more and appreciate simple things.
Well you see these amazing documentaries but never realize what does the crew do apart from recording like have you ever seen in at least ONE of the documentaries the crew helping them through all they do is record the stuff not even help or give them something.
I’m from Kenya also, not from the Maasai tribe but from Kikuyu tribe, i had my hardships as well just to go to school, far walks, no food, no school fees, can’t afford uniforms or books but thank God i never walked 10 kilometers like these poor babies. Never thought I’ll be where I’m at now, just got my degree and I’m very thankful. I believe and i know their dreams and wishes will come true one day as well🖤
I loved watching them holding hands as they walked and giggling like they weren't facing an hours-long trek through the African savanna with no food or water. God bless them, they were just so brave and so sweet.
Ebony Lewis actually the kid said to the teacher in Swahili that “the mzungu (white people) made us go to the slaughter house!” So the documentary people did it on purpose for content
The teacher just pretended to beat them. The kane didn't even land on their hands and they went back to seat smiling. In any case, they were late because the filmers were with them in the plains.
as a former teacher, the appearance of discipline is important to the overall class. The woman was joking with them, playing acting discipline in order to maintain overall order in classroom but it was a small kindness, the kind we all need as children...
I was really touched by how the adults tap on the kids' heads as a sign of blessing and goodwill. Shows you the unity and how everyone in the community cares about the children. With that I just fell in love with the Maasai culture. Pure hearted people it seems. Well I'm a Kenyan but I never knew anything of this kind goes on in my country. I was lucky enough and privileged to come from a well off family, living in the city and going to school was just very easy, fun and secure. Simply dawns on me how one easily takes the everyday simple things in life for granted, totally unaware that the same simple things are a far fetched dream to someone else 😞😞
this is my country but i was never put in such conditions, i first experienced this life last year when we went for mission in Maasai land, we walked 14km just to preach the goodnews, at times i feel ashamed as a Kenyan because as a country we ought to have done something, am a student too in the universty , but when am done i will take part in making a change
Hey buddy, NEVER feel ashamed from where you come from!!! Only criminals, rapist, killers should feel that way. You should be PROUD of who you are and how much you are accomplishing and passed the good onto others. God bless you man!!!
I am so touched by this documentary. Dear Lord guide and protect each and every child and their parents featured in this documentary, and may all their dreams come true.
lord lol you think a god made this world where most people are suffering on. a daily basis and going to hell at the end of their lives? either god isnt all knowing or all loving, you can pick which
I thought going to school in Kenya was hard...but this is just on a whole other level...what's more shocking is how many people in the comments can relate. Salute my fellow Kenyans
The land is beautiful, but dangerous at the same time,The kids are innocent but very brave, the community is loving and caring , you can tell by the way they bless the kids by touching their heads...in short every child has a dream.What an amazing documentary 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
It pisses me off when the kids said he was hungry while sucking milk from a cows utter. Do they realize they have a YARD FULL OF BEEF?? Roast, ribs, T-bone's you name it! It's all just looking in your kitchen window!
@@amybaby04 But if they eat the animals they won't have anything left. If they milk the animals the animals are alive and they are nourished. They only eat meat on special occasions.
@@vickikendricks I didn't day slaughter all of them. The kids are STARVING, and malnourished. Obviously the milk isn't cutting it. One of those animals would last that family a MONTH or more. Your telling me they can't butcher one? This is child neglect at it's finest! These kids are STARVING FOR NO REASON! How the hell do the parents sleep at night? A pumpkin has a higher IQ then these "adults" it pisses me off! They could kill a goat and drink the milk. It's not rocket science, it's common sense. But anyone who makes their kids travel that far to school without supervision thru dangerous terrain should be allowed to have a child to begin with.
@@vickikendricks Another think. What do they feed their animals? They sure have enough of whatever to keep the cows full, but let the child starve. I don't understand this.
@@amybaby04 They only eat meat on special occasions that's it and mostly guys. Also, they're Nomads so when the grass and water gets too low to feed their livestock they move. That's why their houses are of mud its meant to temporary, also the livestock is used as currency.
I was hooked on the MOST DANGEROUS WAYS TO SCHOOL episodes. I wish there are more episodes. Best documentaries ever, and I am 50 years old and an avid documentary watcher. Best work ever. I have told a lot of my friends
Those tiny fruits the little kids ate on the way remind of my past when I didn't have breakfast, lunch and not sure of supper and I had to go to school.Used to walk 2kms to school come back home for lunch which I rarely found and then go back for afternoon classes.I used to eat them on my way😄!God bless these kids
People who has faced such life should unite and make some organization for food of such children at d school.lf someone will take initiative outside world will definately help Just start by local people we shall help u .ln lndia ' Akshaypatra Foundation' is giving midday meal to 18 lacs chidren daily with d help of govt. and donations. I request u to get lnformation about 'Akshaypatra Foundation' and start a move in kenya for such purpose .ln one's every good mission god is always there to support.
I say that too& then I 👀 the next one & the next & the next.. they’re all so ❤️warming & inspiring. Also makes me very appreciative & whenever I’m feeling upset about something that is really trivial in the grand scheme I remind myself of all these beautiful children with 1 singular goal in mind.
On a practical note, I think that the Kenyan government can afford a program for hot school lunch. It is heart breaking to see these children so hungry yet there are millions of dollars being looted. I also recognize the fact that I too should see how I can help - no matter how small my contribution may be. Its amazing the things we take for granted.
True ,but corruption is the issue. Not only can National gov do it, but county gov as well but has failed. The reserve -Maasai Mara -generate lot of revenue from tourists- one wonder what they do with the money if they cant help people who live in the reserve.This people ought be number one priority with revenue generated by the game reserve.
Donating doesn’t help as much as we think, as most of the money or contributions goes through the hands of the government and they end up taking most of it for themselves instead of actually using it to help those in need but then again that’s the case with most charities, their pocketing most of the money instuof actually using it to help people just like corrupt governments and why I’m weary of charities
My school was literally 100 metres away from my house, and every morning my parents used to bribe me with cake and chocolates to wake up and go to the school. These kids are really brave. I wish they get more success than they could ever imagine in their life.
Yeah right Europeans properly compensating Africans or any natives to that matter HAHAHHAHAHA HAHHA such wishful thinking my gullible friend. Going by the track record they where most likely used and paid peanuts
@@Wearespurstv yes. You are right. Only a little cash. And you are forgotten. Plus the video has exaggerations. No way a 4-year-old who took only tea in the morning comes home and only sips some milk and goes to graze. Goodness, he'll collapse from hunger. Did you see his chubby cheeks?
Once th eir done filming, nothing changes. I remember months after Slumdog Millionaire was done filming and had massive success. There was an article about the little girl who plays "young Latika" almost being sold by her own father.
@@Wearespurstv why is it always the European fault? Anytime some country is sinking why does America have to come save the day? We give billions of $ to 3rd world countries to help their people. Those governments take the $ that is for the people and use it to get rich. This happens in North Korea all the time
sometime we think we have more problems than others, but this Most dangerous ways to school documentary makes me to re-calibrate my thinking and appreciate God the more
I am from the Kamba community that borders Maasai Lands. This is the kind of life most of us were brought up with. We are just glad that we made it all the way to the university and now we are giving back to our communities in the smallest ways that we can.
I am touched, here i am thinking deep crying to see beautiful young children walking in the wilderness . I am crying feeling helpless. God protect them, show them the way...much love from South Africa
We pay literally thousands of Dollars $$$ to see , travel the Safaris of Africa and awe its stunning landscapes , wildlife and these kids see it everyday :) God blezz them and Bless Africa :)
I think u can volunteer walking them kids to school everyday. It would be a free walk. Also u would be able to protect them from the lions and hienas :D
I'm teacher in tribal Development department of India, Govt provide each and everything including breakfast, lunch, dinner. Then also students are not serious about study. Their parents are only interested in money deposited in students bank account. This academic year I'm going to show this series to my students
SCIENCE CHILD our leaders are selling us to the highest bidders and inrich themselves ,I mean we have everything here in Africa but our leaders are corrupt to tge core
@@khustaricomantshazi9704 why Should u PEOPLE are not protest against this bullshit government?is african govt elected by democracy (by the people,for the people,of the people) ?
Of the episodes I watched thus far, this one was the most extreme way to school. These children had ti come across many wild animals. But what was so amazing is that the children are like warriors; they read the land, look beyond their fear, and move forward to their destination
I see that people are commenting a lot about how far the children have to walk, but coming from the Maasai tribe myself we do not view it as that far. We are known for walking long distance and endurance, and what people normally would consider as a long distance is viewed as "not that far" in our tribe. (im not trying to imply that it's not far, just trying to explain a bit more) PS: We generally walk at a high speed as well, just trying to keep up to children or old women is pretty exhausting.
I don’t see any issue with how far they walk, it’s just the danger. Walking past lions and elephants and leopards all alone with no guns to protect them is terrifying.
As a Kenyan, we know these things do happen, but when you stop and think about it, I couldn't help but shed tears listening to the young boys and girl share their dreams. This is really a dangerous, yet beautiful walk to school
I’ve been obsessed with this program. I’ve watched it with my 9yr old daughter who just started going school on her own in uk and for some reason I’m in in awe how these parents can be so brave to send their little ones with no form of communication to know if they have reached school safely or not. They just have to wait until the day has ended to see if their child turns back up. Meanwhile I’ve equipped my daughter with a mobile phone. I track her and she walks with the school rush and school is 8mins around the corner. Honestly it really teaches me and my child a lot of gratitude for what we have and don’t have. And also teaches me my 9yr old don’t need a phone.
I am a kenyan , I can totally relate to this , this used to be my daily routine , covering 12Kilometres on my way to primary school , passed highly , proceeded to high school and university..resilience is in our blood
Am Kenyan(Not Maasai though) and I think it's amazing how maasai kids are brought up. Every time a kid meets an elder maasai they have to bow down and let the elder tap their head with the palm of their hands. It shows respect from the kid and blessings from the elder. No wonder they grow up to be excellent members of the community.
This is very True Documentary ever...this is my country...I also went through such life when I was schooling in my Village but not animals zoo like our fellow Masai tribe's go through...but yes we pass through it. Now I'm Respected Hair and MakeUp artist in my country and the whole region East Africa to God be the Gory
Imma make my son watch this and if he complains about walking 2 blocks for school again...Imma FedEx him to this village 😄🤨...really tho...this is very honorable
In out messed up so iety u gotta fear the worst animal serial killers rapist screwed up individuals don't forget that the worst animals sometimes are human so u still gotta watch ur kids specialy lil ones n more lil girls but yes we gotta show them stuff like this so they can be thankful
Hahaha i know where you can send him and in exchange take one of these kids in let them sleep in his bed and eat his food.. boy they will think they have arrived in heaven am not sure what your son will think though something on the lines of child abuse.. I guess we have all been miseducated at some point
Am Kenyan too and had to go to boarding school at 8 years to secure good education. I really thank my parents for the sacrifice they made to see me through. Am glad to have made it and now working making them proud.
1. The next time our president and his envoys arrive in your countries abroad, do not present him with flowers at the airport. Present him with educational stationary like pencils, pens, books etc. It will come a long way and help a great deed by reminding him of his duties. 2. Do not give him loans. A half of the money will end up at Swiss banks.And his deputy is the real corruption dealer. 3. If our MP's come visiting your countries for leisure or treatment, whip them properly, it will plant some sense on their heads. It will come along with reminding them to stop increasing their salaries and instead focus on establishing infrastructure. 4. You have noted how my fellow Kenyans are complaining about the spelling mistake "Kenya." They have never thought of doing such a documentary by themselves, and instead of the documentary injecting some sense to their heads, they are yelling instead of getting ashamed that a foreigner did it. They are at what they do best, "complaining." Shame on them anyway. They are burying their heads in the sand, and they are not going to stop. 5. One day, our generation will heal this country. We guarantee an end to economic injustice once and for all. And this video has motivated me that "It's possible!"
The canning part was funny but sure they should be canned those govenors kwanza wa county goverment. About compoaining i feel so attached🤣🤣. For sure we complain to almost everything. Change is possible.
Some will go here for fun, champagne in the savanna at sunrise and relaxation, while others (children) are traversing dangerous territories to go to school. Life no balance😓😞. This has opened my eyes, when I plan to go for a safari, to pack some food, books, school accessories for these Maasai children. God always protects them.
This is heart wrenching but inspiring as well. Humans are amazing at survival. Really hard to watch. We don’t know how good we have it in the U.S. God bless the people of Kenya
The Maasai are amazing. Up until this last year I had no idea people still lived nomadic lives. It's amazing how they respect nature and live with it instead of exploiting it. I hope that each of these children have gone on to continue their education and their dreams come true. They already have such a rich and beautiful culture, all they need is a way to achieve their dreams ♡ i wish so badly that I could give fresh fruits and cooked meats to each child at that school.
Yes it's sad but also nice to know the kids are eager to learn. As a grown up now who went through some of this though at a slightly safer area it brings tears to my eyes. I hope the girls make it through school and are not married early after all this struggle.
The Massai people's commitment to preserving their traditions in the Dorn Savanna is truly inspiring. Despite the challenges they face, like the long and dangerous journey to school, their determination to educate their children shines through. Thanks to the documentary for shedding light on their unique way of life and the importance of education.
"I don't punish them if they're late from an elephant." Just if they're late from staying up all night, malnutrition, thirst, diarrhea, menstruation, getting lost or overwhelming fatigue.
@@big.r5550 People should find ways to send money, sure, but that is not really the point. The point is not to be cruel to others, especially children, particularly for circumstances outside of their control.
Maasai's are one of the richest people in Kenya, one family can have as much as 500 heads of cattle and 1000 goats which is 200k dollars. They are not poor, it is their culture.
A tear jerker!! I finally understood what my classmates in primary school went through…I can’t imagine we were subjected to the same exams/ standards when they had gone through hell, just to be in class. It’s painful
I am Tanzanian but i feel for those young kids i love kenya and africa..we must learn from this and each opportunity we get we have to remember such debt to pay to our community.
Am Kenyan living in Qatar. This tough life doesn't apply to all of us although the struggle is almost the same. We went to school almost the same way. We have started initiatives to improve our situations in the villages and I thank God there's improvement
I love watching these documentaries 😃 they should show this in all American schools in social studies class. American kids need to be shown this because they don’t know how Easy they have it. Ima make both my daughters watch this.
India treat black people from Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Zambia...very very bad in India. We Africans know that many Indians are racist. If you are Indian, please treat our people well in India, and that will be the sign that you care.
This is so sad I cried the whole time 😢😢. I am humbled but so much more grateful for water, tea, food and having a car. God bless them all. I have an idea let's all tweet the government of Kenya and link the documentary.
😰 This is a tough and dangerous life for these kids. Yet they are supposed to compete for opportunities with other kenyans. May God provide for them to become resourceful despite their challenges
Am a Kenyan but I didn't know the danger some Kenyan children endure to school 😭😭. This documentary has taught me to be always grateful and never murmur or complain,for some are in way worse situations.

I’m South Sudanese. I was born in Kenya and went to kindergarten and first grade in Nairobi, Kenya, due to Sudan’s civil war. I remember wearing green uniforms, getting beatings from teachers and singing the national anthem in English and Swahili back in the early 90’s. It’s one of my favorite anthems.

The bravery of these children is beyond anything I would've imagined.
Much respect,much respect.
Not only does the 4 years old zipped across the #Savannah to school with his friends but must tend to the cows as well.🥁🥁🥁🥁
Agreed. God bless the children.
You would do the same.. They just have a different life. Lifestyle is a perception.
Yes the courage, the strength, the perseverance is something that not even the finest of school can teach. God bless these children with a humble heart ❤️
Although....these days one must have almost as much courage to go to one of Uncle Sam's schools....?
with almost monthly killings ....... all with god's blessings....
Ever since I started watching this, I stopped complaing about life , iI started counting my blessings
Much love from uganda
you can say that again...same here, we shall really count our blessing
I felt that way at first too. However, someone could look at my life and say the same thing. Your problems are your problems and just because other people have it worse than you doesn't make your problems any easier. At least that's how I feel.
it's weird to say but fact is every where you go you face problems according to your surroundings.
And that doesn't make one's problems easier than another's
So when I walked from kireka' to bweyogerere via ntebetebee I thought it was the most dangerous but now I'm more than happy.
Am Kenyan from the maasai community.this is exactly what I went through going to school with my elder brother...we walked for kilometers just to get education..
I thank GOD am now a graduate from Moi university..
Congratulations. You’ve done awesomely well. You can be so proud of yourself and I hope you are.
I am proud of who am becoming..I've made my mama proud ...some day I will be able to help those going through the same challenges
So proud of you Elina! May the odds be always in your favor!😊😊
Proud of you !
Congratulations am proud of you
I love how the adults of this community greet each child with a touch to the head- it is almost as if they are blessing the children for a safe journey to their destination.
I thought it was really sweet! You’ll notice some rub the children’s heads instead of just a touch. So affectionate!
true
It's the Masai way of greeting children and saying goodbye to them
I agree. We also have a similar way of greeting our elders here in the phiippines but instead of them rubbing our heads, we take their hands and lighty press our forehead in the back of their hands.
Sadly in other parts of the world some people see it as offensive and that’s truly pathetic.
This awesome documentary deserves a huge prize!!! It is a big lesson for us who tend to complain about little problems in life. Thanks a million!!!!!!
True!
@Samuel-The Kenyan kids are more safer than kids in USA.They should do documentaries on mass shootings-th-cam.com/video/TUjYtMwkDnA/w-d-xo.html
Samuel I absolutely agree!! I was thinking the same and also thought how great it would be to have kids in school watch these and then have the kids do some type of project about this. Having the kids do a project would be good in the sense of having them think about how other kids don't have much but they're happy! etc... Even the one boy said ''All I need in life is a goat and a cow''! Imagine Canadian,American etc... kids hearing that?
The best documentaries ever!!!!
Not really
Dear lord forgive me for the many times that I haven't been grateful for what you have done to me.
Seriously i dont even deserve the life that i have.....
I love your prayer, but don't fear as I was already a part of a small group working to some solutions! The Jubilee riders had already made a small difference! As a South African my love for education in Africa remains a big goal! Watch this video... th-cam.com/video/jYNy2-SL72A/w-d-xo.html
But continue to pray for the children of the Maasai. Love you lots! Johan South Africa!
Done to you?
Huh to you you mean for you without God youd have nothing. It even the air you breath or life
They have a life they live different we in main society's have luxury and complain to God for not having more we can go to school but we often complain bout shoes clothes be grateful for everything I forget this to thank You Lord
Im a Kenyan from a different community,the experiences of these maasai children have left me humbled.I wish the schools would have a feeding programme for every child,its really sad for the kids to walk hungry all day😥.May God see them through their education and fulfill their dreams🙏
I agree. This is Narok county or Kajiado. The county and National government should do something about this..

I feel sad that the non-boarding children didn't get to have meals even though they have to come from so far
Ikr, that's so sad 😔
I wish agencies could donate bags of rice at least for these students!!
You'd think they could get left overs and have to option to pay a small amount or do a small amount of sweeping or clean the chalkboard in exchange for food - especially to help them learn!
But they get to drink blood which the boarders don't. 😀
the school is money greedy
These are amazing documentaries! How did I not see these from 2015 until 2019? I can't stop watching them.
Omg same here! 💔

That's my former school. I was thrilled to see my brothers and some of my primary school friends there, but sad to not see myself. Ntuka Boarding Primary School. My experience was a bit different because I was a boarder. I only experienced the same experience during roundtests and opening days, especially during the rainy season. I am glad that I am a Master's student starting next year in a STEM course. Testimony of great determination and drive.
That madam was your teacher by then
Hi congratulations
Hi joseck
When the little one said that she wants to have water, tea and peas instead of tiresome journey; that time I was having lunch with lasagna, pea soup and fruit salad; literally tears rolled out of my eyes. Wish you best kids.
Same, the other video showed kids eating plants for snacks, and I felt like a criminal while having coffee and a piece of cake after a meal
My eyes is on tears now but this comment make me smile 😆 same thought
am literally crying
did you finish your lasagna though?
I've seen giant burgers on TV. So big that even elephants would have trouble stuffing in their mouths. A few bites and the rest go to the wastebasket. Here comes a bunch of kids that for weeks has been dreaming of eating meat and getting beans instead, but only because they were able to pay for boarding.
Imagine at 4yrs having responsibilities of an adult person.
I wish his dreams come true.
This is painfully their way of life... .
He seems 8. Has have to grow up quick😢
Thanks for sharing this. I am one of the children of the Savannah. I faced similar challenges while growing up and schooling. It was tough but we were tougher. Today I am a Masters of Science holder in Biotechnology and l live in North America. I started reaching out and mentoring both young girls and boys in elementary schools and high schools while I was still in Kenya and still plan to do so whenever I get a chance to visit my community.

The part most of you did get is when the teacher asked the boy & girl why they were late they say (wazungu). It means the whites 😂 basically they white camera man made them late 😂.

Lool. I did not get that part. Please share it here
@@simj2993 I'm pretty sure it was an observation not an overall take away.

and those canes were fake....speaking from experience hahaha! She did not want to shock the mzungu
What shattered me most was when she said "School is supposed to change my life". I'm still in tears.
That part, I cried when she said that. That was from a place of pain and just being weary. But she kept going coz school was supposed to change her life. I know this is true for most, but if I was in these people's shoes I wouldn't have bothered sending my child to school. Most of us went through difficulties in our life, but what this kids have to endure just to get education was insane.
Y a mi me dolió, cuando llego y la maestra le pegó, y dijo es que allá hay comida😢😢😢 creo que voy a llorar por varios días 😢😢😢
I think that all kids should have free meals at school
Yes in countries that care about their people. The worst continent to be a kid is Africa. Most of us have experienced such life in our childhood years.
in a place where it is affordable to do so this should be no problem
@@VladmirPoopN yes I strongly believe so. I also agree that kids should eat but parents should never abdicate their duty in favor of tax payers carrying their load. I also acknowledge that in the face of heartbreaking property like this a welfare state makes more sense even if it borrows from future generations....... end note...
Helllll yeahhh !!! Blood for everyone :DD
Remotest parts of the world are still operating like this. How will they get meals if they are far far away from most civilisations. Governments are usually focused on urban and semi-urban areas. They leave these tribal areas alone.
this documentary is very true i am a maasai too from Narok county and life was hard back then our biggest threat were the elephants and the Pokot raiders the lions mostly attacked during the day when herding. My biggest joy of going to school was because i used to get time to play with my fiends from few hills away those days there was nothing like free lunch at school, though maziwa ya nyayo came in handy. I do pray to God that one day i will be able to give back to my society and the entire country through education( ensuring that every child in this country goes to school and also teachers to improve their learner to teacher interactions during lessons). One throwback i really enjoyed was that during herding we always had that one friendly cow that we suckled milk from me and my friends which resulted to a beating in the evening by my dad but that didn't hurt much because we still did it again and again.
best wishes from India...
Good share Saitoti
I was in boarding in Pokot in the mid-80s and can relate to seeing kids coming from distance from Nowhere!!
And luckily in our traditions, we live and respect wild animals ,
I respect you bro

The fact that everyone touches their heads as they pass. It's like a blessing checkpoint to me watching them pass by.
It's their way of greeting children
They laughed they weren't punished..the teacher just wanted to show what happens. That's why the whole class giggled
Well said! Tight-knit community...and the kids on an empty stomach hold hands on their way to and from school as they dodge leopards, elephants and lions! I cried watching this.
I fell in love with beautiful Kenya when I was there, and the Maasai people. They have so little but are so hospitable and welcoming. I now sponsor two Maasai children to attend boarding school where they get fed and educated for the princely sum of a couple of takeaways for me. Watching those kid growing up and having dreams and plans for their future is totally worth it.

I’m from Kenya also, not from the Maasai tribe but from Kikuyu tribe, i had my hardships as well just to go to school, far walks, no food, no school fees, can’t afford uniforms or books but thank God i never walked 10 kilometers like these poor babies. Never thought I’ll be where I’m at now, just got my degree and I’m very thankful. I believe and i know their dreams and wishes will come true one day as well🖤

@@kencapellan4731 i also wanted to say the same thing
Why your tribe dnt slaughter livestock for meat and better nutrients why let kids starve eat wild berries but there is meat
I loved watching them holding hands as they walked and giggling like they weren't facing an hours-long trek through the African savanna with no food or water. God bless them, they were just so brave and so sweet.
That teacher just made me mad. She already knows they travel a long time and have no food to eat. Really.
Ebony Lewis actually the kid said to the teacher in Swahili that “the mzungu (white people) made us go to the slaughter house!” So the documentary people did it on purpose for content
The teacher just pretended to beat them. The kane didn't even land on their hands and they went back to seat smiling. In any case, they were late because the filmers were with them in the plains.
Lilly Lillie omg 😭 I feel bad for them bruh
@@ianmuriithi9370 She beat them. Angalia vizuri
as a former teacher, the appearance of discipline is important to the overall class. The woman was joking with them, playing acting discipline in order to maintain overall order in classroom but it was a small kindness, the kind we all need as children...
I was really touched by how the adults tap on the kids' heads as a sign of blessing and goodwill. Shows you the unity and how everyone in the community cares about the children. With that I just fell in love with the Maasai culture. Pure hearted people it seems. Well I'm a Kenyan but I never knew anything of this kind goes on in my country. I was lucky enough and privileged to come from a well off family, living in the city and going to school was just very easy, fun and secure. Simply dawns on me how one easily takes the everyday simple things in life for granted, totally unaware that the same simple things are a far fetched dream to someone else 😞😞

It's also a form of respect. You don't stretch your hand out to your elders. You humble down with a slight bow

this is my country but i was never put in such conditions, i first experienced this life last year when we went for mission in Maasai land, we walked 14km just to preach the goodnews, at times i feel ashamed as a Kenyan because as a country we ought to have done something, am a student too in the universty , but when am done i will take part in making a change
good to hear that
Okay. but don't be ashamed of your country. There is only much that you can do.

This makes me sad. These children are hungry and tired. I'm inspired to join an organization that helps these children get their education.
It pisses me off when the kids said he was hungry while sucking milk from a cows utter. Do they realize they have a YARD FULL OF BEEF?? Roast, ribs, T-bone's you name it! It's all just looking in your kitchen window!
@@amybaby04 But if they eat the animals they won't have anything left. If they milk the animals the animals are alive and they are nourished. They only eat meat on special occasions.
@@vickikendricks I didn't day slaughter all of them. The kids are STARVING, and malnourished. Obviously the milk isn't cutting it. One of those animals would last that family a MONTH or more. Your telling me they can't butcher one? This is child neglect at it's finest! These kids are STARVING FOR NO REASON! How the hell do the parents sleep at night? A pumpkin has a higher IQ then these "adults" it pisses me off! They could kill a goat and drink the milk. It's not rocket science, it's common sense. But anyone who makes their kids travel that far to school without supervision thru dangerous terrain should be allowed to have a child to begin with.
@@vickikendricks Another think. What do they feed their animals? They sure have enough of whatever to keep the cows full, but let the child starve. I don't understand this.
@@amybaby04 They only eat meat on special occasions that's it and mostly guys. Also, they're Nomads so when the grass and water gets too low to feed their livestock they move. That's why their houses are of mud its meant to temporary, also the livestock is used as currency.
I was hooked on the MOST DANGEROUS WAYS TO SCHOOL episodes. I wish there are more episodes. Best documentaries ever, and I am 50 years old and an avid documentary watcher. Best work ever. I have told a lot of my friends
It's not a story about food but a story about the struggle of getting education.... Blessed children
Those tiny fruits the little kids ate on the way remind of my past when I didn't have breakfast, lunch and not sure of supper and I had to go to school.Used to walk 2kms to school come back home for lunch which I rarely found and then go back for afternoon classes.I used to eat them on my way😄!God bless these kids
God Bless you too.

I say that too& then I 👀 the next one & the next & the next.. they’re all so ❤️warming & inspiring. Also makes me very appreciative & whenever I’m feeling upset about something that is really trivial in the grand scheme I remind myself of all these beautiful children with 1 singular goal in mind.
My highlight was when the little guy says he wants to become a teacher, travel other countries and visit his mother often ❤️
Yes, me too. This warms my heart. I cried. A really good documentary is Papua new guinea and Columbia
And Peru, Nepal and Nicuragua
On a practical note, I think that the Kenyan government can afford a program for hot school lunch. It is heart breaking to see these children so hungry yet there are millions of dollars being looted. I also recognize the fact that I too should see how I can help - no matter how small my contribution may be. Its amazing the things we take for granted.
True ,but corruption is the issue. Not only can National gov do it, but county gov as well but has failed. The reserve -Maasai Mara -generate lot of revenue from tourists- one wonder what they do with the money if they cant help people who live in the reserve.This people ought be number one priority with revenue generated by the game reserve.
Donating doesn’t help as much as we think, as most of the money or contributions goes through the hands of the government and they end up taking most of it for themselves instead of actually using it to help those in need but then again that’s the case with most charities, their pocketing most of the money instuof actually using it to help people just like corrupt governments and why I’m weary of charities
@@lovelydiva06 True, I was thinking though of helping individual students, I too am wary of charities.
Plus even the boarders only get one meal a day! And a bowl of beans! Not much in that to keep them going. They do look strong and healthy though.

@@Wearespurstv yes. You are right. Only a little cash. And you are forgotten. Plus the video has exaggerations. No way a 4-year-old who took only tea in the morning comes home and only sips some milk and goes to graze. Goodness, he'll collapse from hunger. Did you see his chubby cheeks?
Once th eir done filming, nothing changes. I remember months after Slumdog Millionaire was done filming and had massive success. There was an article about the little girl who plays "young Latika" almost being sold by her own father.
alexander valaris the audacity of your comment is unbelievable. You probably have never left Texas and drive a truck for living. They do get paid
@@Wearespurstv why is it always the European fault? Anytime some country is sinking why does America have to come save the day? We give billions of $ to 3rd world countries to help their people. Those governments take the $ that is for the people and use it to get rich. This happens in North Korea all the time
sometime we think we have more problems than others, but this Most dangerous ways to school documentary makes me to re-calibrate my thinking and appreciate God the more
I am from the Kamba community that borders Maasai Lands. This is the kind of life most of us were brought up with. We are just glad that we made it all the way to the university and now we are giving back to our communities in the smallest ways that we can.

Of the episodes I watched thus far, this one was the most extreme way to school. These children had ti come across many wild animals. But what was so amazing is that the children are like warriors; they read the land, look beyond their fear, and move forward to their destination
I watch one of these videos and think it can't get worse than this. then in watch the next one and say WTF did I just watch!
I watched them all and this one was the worst because of the fact these kids were starving
I see that people are commenting a lot about how far the children have to walk, but coming from the Maasai tribe myself we do not view it as that far. We are known for walking long distance and endurance, and what people normally would consider as a long distance is viewed as "not that far" in our tribe.
(im not trying to imply that it's not far, just trying to explain a bit more)
PS: We generally walk at a high speed as well, just trying to keep up to children or old women is pretty exhausting.
Wewe sasa ndo unajua👏🏾👍
Kamba rural people in Kenya say, "ooovaaa" meaning it just nearby while its so far away. I didn't know masaai see long distance same as well.
That’s why a lot of the long distance runners in Kenya. Tend to be Masai and why they also healthy people
I don’t see any issue with how far they walk, it’s just the danger. Walking past lions and elephants and leopards all alone with no guns to protect them is terrifying.

As a Kenyan, we know these things do happen, but when you stop and think about it, I couldn't help but shed tears listening to the young boys and girl share their dreams. This is really a dangerous, yet beautiful walk to school

I’ve been obsessed with this program. I’ve watched it with my 9yr old daughter who just started going school on her own in uk and for some reason I’m in in awe how these parents can be so brave to send their little ones with no form of communication to know if they have reached school safely or not. They just have to wait until the day has ended to see if their child turns back up. Meanwhile I’ve equipped my daughter with a mobile phone. I track her and she walks with the school rush and school is 8mins around the corner. Honestly it really teaches me and my child a lot of gratitude for what we have and don’t have. And also teaches me my 9yr old don’t need a phone.
I am a kenyan , I can totally relate to this , this used to be my daily routine , covering 12Kilometres on my way to primary school , passed highly , proceeded to high school and university..resilience is in our blood
Relate with what! I'm a Kenyan but I shed tears watching this!!!
You're an example to everyone. I'm so happy for you and your family.
Koitangai is soo pretty 😭.May God keep her in her journey for the quest of education.
😭😭 They leave their children's life in the hands of God... God protect them and fulfil the desires of their heart
Am Kenyan(Not Maasai though) and I think it's amazing how maasai kids are brought up. Every time a kid meets an elder maasai they have to bow down and let the elder tap their head with the palm of their hands. It shows respect from the kid and blessings from the elder. No wonder they grow up to be excellent members of the community.
This is very True Documentary ever...this is my country...I also went through such life when I was schooling in my Village but not animals zoo like our fellow Masai tribe's go through...but yes we pass through it.
Now I'm Respected Hair and MakeUp artist in my country and the whole region East Africa to God be the Gory
Imma make my son watch this and if he complains about walking 2 blocks for school again...Imma FedEx him to this village 😄🤨...really tho...this is very honorable
In out messed up so iety u gotta fear the worst animal serial killers rapist screwed up individuals don't forget that the worst animals sometimes are human so u still gotta watch ur kids specialy lil ones n more lil girls but yes we gotta show them stuff like this so they can be thankful
Hahaha i know where you can send him and in exchange take one of these kids in let them sleep in his bed and eat his food.. boy they will think they have arrived in heaven am not sure what your son will think though something on the lines of child abuse.. I guess we have all been miseducated at some point
Kids in America are lazy compared to kids in other countries.
He has right to complain now sex trafficking and organ harvesting are at their highest
city has its own danger..2 or 3 block walking to school is enough time for sick people for kidnapping the kids🤔🤔
Love and prayers from California. I want to help this girl. I want to support her monthly so she can stay in a boarding house and focus on school.
Bless You
Get in touch with me and together we can figure a way out to assist her
@@dedanburuna7879 be careful of this person this is freaking scammer
@@ZamorasEmpire. thankyou for this bro,Godbless for keeping a waychful eye
@@dedanburuna7879 there are several organizations here
Am Kenyan too and had to go to boarding school at 8 years to secure good education. I really thank my parents for the sacrifice they made to see me through. Am glad to have made it and now working making them proud.
1. The next time our president and his envoys arrive in your countries abroad, do not present him with flowers at the airport. Present him with educational stationary like pencils, pens, books etc. It will come a long way and help a great deed by reminding him of his duties.
2. Do not give him loans. A half of the money will end up at Swiss banks.And his deputy is the real corruption dealer.
3. If our MP's come visiting your countries for leisure or treatment, whip them properly, it will plant some sense on their heads. It will come along with reminding them to stop increasing their salaries and instead focus on establishing infrastructure.
4. You have noted how my fellow Kenyans are complaining about the spelling mistake "Kenya." They have never thought of doing such a documentary by themselves, and instead of the documentary injecting some sense to their heads, they are yelling instead of getting ashamed that a foreigner did it. They are at what they do best, "complaining." Shame on them anyway. They are burying their heads in the sand, and they are not going to stop.
5. One day, our generation will heal this country. We guarantee an end to economic injustice once and for all. And this video has motivated me that "It's possible!"
100% free you, it is a sad but naked truth
The canning part was funny but sure they should be canned those govenors kwanza wa county goverment. About compoaining i feel so attached🤣🤣. For sure we complain to almost everything. Change is possible.
very true!!!
well said here.
absolutely
I love Kenya with all my heart. Been there few times and my ex husband is also from a tribe and I’ve been to his village. I miss Kenya 🇰🇪
Hi ana
Come back home
I’m here for you
Welcome back to kenya anytime you feel like.karibu kenya
What does 'is from a tribe' mean?
I'm from Kenya and I wish our corrupt government could take the time to watch this..
They always watch
And know this is happening
They have always known
But this is not a thing for them
So heartless
I am Kenyan too, and they do not give a hoot
Hata usiseme wazungu wanasoma pia ficha white, I mean it's not fair actually
they do watch they just don't care
😀😁🤣
Frustrates me that the school does not provide even water for the children I am amazed at these children and how strong they are.
Also that they get punished for being late :-(
@@ChicaLindaAlt236 😔
@@ChicaLindaAlt236 it’s fake. No sane teacher would ever punish students of such conditions. It’s all exaggerated for entertainment
Because you are not from Kenya, I am from this community maasai
@@hk254lyt8it’s not fake, each culture is different.
Some will go here for fun, champagne in the savanna at sunrise and relaxation, while others (children) are traversing dangerous territories to go to school. Life no balance😓😞. This has opened my eyes, when I plan to go for a safari, to pack some food, books, school accessories for these Maasai children. God always protects them.
God will bless you
This is heart wrenching but inspiring as well. Humans are amazing at survival. Really hard to watch. We don’t know how good we have it in the U.S. God bless the people of Kenya
I am humbled by these children. Everyone of them in this whole series.
The Maasai are amazing. Up until this last year I had no idea people still lived nomadic lives. It's amazing how they respect nature and live with it instead of exploiting it. I hope that each of these children have gone on to continue their education and their dreams come true. They already have such a rich and beautiful culture, all they need is a way to achieve their dreams ♡ i wish so badly that I could give fresh fruits and cooked meats to each child at that school.
Kids in America needs to watch this especially the ungrateful ones who don't appreciate their parents hustle
Or bring them over for an "exchange program" 🤣🤣

I’m crying watching these children endured so much just to go to school,bless them.
Yes it's sad but also nice to know the kids are eager to learn. As a grown up now who went through some of this though at a slightly safer area it brings tears to my eyes. I hope the girls make it through school and are not married early after all this struggle.
it's not that sad, they chose this life style. There are gonverment free schools and they chose to live so far from it lol
@@KAIZORIANEMPIRE very ignorant of you
@@michelleg6222 you can call me ignorant but i have a good life, phd money lol, these peopel choose to live this way, the same way i chose not to lol.
While yall are crying for the PS5 they are crying for atleast one meal,just one 😿
Well, we are a "first world country"
But you're right
@@24sirosaydeacker57 Kenya isn’t a first world country 😭
@@imani3975 he’s talking about America I’m sure
People do what their environment allows.
The Massai people's commitment to preserving their traditions in the Dorn Savanna is truly inspiring. Despite the challenges they face, like the long and dangerous journey to school, their determination to educate their children shines through. Thanks to the documentary for shedding light on their unique way of life and the importance of education.
May our Almighty Lord bless all these children and their families.
Amen
Amen
"I don't punish them if they're late from an elephant." Just if they're late from staying up all night, malnutrition, thirst, diarrhea, menstruation, getting lost or overwhelming fatigue.
S.M.P. Newstead so sad yo😔
Maybe you should send them money then
@@big.r5550 People should find ways to send money, sure, but that is not really the point. The point is not to be cruel to others, especially children, particularly for circumstances outside of their control.
Maasai's are one of the richest people in Kenya, one family can have as much as 500 heads of cattle and 1000 goats which is 200k dollars. They are not poor, it is their culture.
I feel bad that they get whipped for beating late even tho the teacher knows the struggle they go through to get there
Beautiful scenery to school . So long and dangerous, I admire this kids so much . Thanks for the documentary.
A tear jerker!! I finally understood what my classmates in primary school went through…I can’t imagine we were subjected to the same exams/ standards when they had gone through hell, just to be in class. It’s painful
Every school must mandatory viewing this documentary. As a lesson and inspiration.
could not agree more
I'm Kenyan I dint know this happens... I'm just heartbroken😢 may the dreams of this kids come to life
Same here and all we see and hear is politicians parking their helicopters and preaching BBI, BBL, BBI, day in, day out......!
This is so true.
@@andayimushenye9839 BBI everywhere
I am Tanzanian but i feel for those young kids i love kenya and africa..we must learn from this and each opportunity we get we have to remember such debt to pay to our community.
Maybe you Indian
God bless those kids and the parents and the teachers who teach this kids 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😊😊😊💖💖💖
Am Kenyan living in Qatar. This tough life doesn't apply to all of us although the struggle is almost the same. We went to school almost the same way. We have started initiatives to improve our situations in the villages and I thank God there's improvement
I love watching these documentaries 😃 they should show this in all American schools in social studies class. American kids need to be shown this because they don’t know how Easy they have it. Ima make both my daughters watch this.
Its tough out there
May be you should visit Kenya with both of them.
Is it just me, or when these types of documentaries appear, everyone is flipping off the Americans?
It's really hurting my heart.. I love you guys.. Respect from India.
India treat black people from Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Zambia...very very bad in India. We Africans know that many Indians are racist. If you are Indian, please treat our people well in India, and that will be the sign that you care.
This is so sad I cried the whole time 😢😢. I am humbled but so much more grateful for water, tea, food and having a car. God bless them all. I have an idea let's all tweet the government of Kenya and link the documentary.
I’m in tears. I’m in awe. They are so humble. I’m making it my duty to meet them!!! Inshallah 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😰 This is a tough and dangerous life for these kids. Yet they are supposed to compete for opportunities with other kenyans. May God provide for them to become resourceful despite their challenges
This should be renamed THE WORLD MOST EPIC WAYS TO SCHOOL ...Kenya is beautiful
Welcome to Kenya
Giraffes and zebras insane
@@katiempojer yes all kind of animals are here
Am a Kenyan but I didn't know the danger some Kenyan children endure to school 😭😭.
This documentary has taught me to be always grateful and never murmur or complain,for some are in way worse situations.
I am also watching this in shock... I can't believe this is Kenya
😭😭😭😭😭😭 it’s heartbreaking 💔
