Kibera Meets The Bronx NY

Hey beloved friends,

I have just had a great opportunity to go to the Ghetto Film School in the Bronx, New York for two months filmmaking training. I have a scholarship and a flight. I'm really happy, as this is a breakthrough in not only for my career but my life as well.  I was once told that films were only made by rich people, that meant that i had no chance of making films, taking the fact that i was born and raised in Kibera. I took a leap of faith and joined Kibera Film School. At the beginning i wasn't sure where i would end up, but in the long run my passion in filmmaking grew, i did not expect that film would take over my life like this.

To this great opportunity, lies a limitation, I need funds for housing and food. I have started a campaign on global giving to help in raising these funds. 
Go to  http://www.globalgiving.org/3632. All donations are USA tax deductible.

I have also done my story and you can watch it here http://vimeo.com/25133848 

I kindly also request that you also spread the word on facebook, twitter, blogs for more people to come in and help me.  

I appreaciate any kind of help or suppport you are going to accord me. 

All the best.

My Kibera
