The Will To Learn promotes Education Is Power’s work in Kenya through the eyes of local Maasai people. Creator of the film Adam Schurman, is a budding professional filmmaker from Toronto who couldn’t help but become connected to EIP’s work in Kenya thanks to the Canada World Youth program. The educational challenges are especially difficult in Laikipia North, and furthermore the traditional heritage of the Maasai can sometimes be at conflict with education, especially for girls. At just eight and half minutes long, the film captures an important story shown through the lens of local Maasai, that traditional Maasai’s views are changing to embrace education as a means for better livelihoods; while young Maasai, and especially females, see education as the key to a better future. Watch the film and see for yourself how these young Maasai have an incredible will to learn. See the film and more at www.educationispower.org/willtolearn
Education Is Power continues to put a strong emphasis on its online interactive cultural exchanges between North American and Kenyan youth
We believe such initiatives uphold EIP’s values to promote peace and intercultural understanding, while offering many other benefits for kids and youth on either side of the exchange. Not to mention it is just plain fun to have a chat with someone on the other side of the world!
