Dear PBS Friends — a number of people asked how they could help Joab and his siblings. Since November 2009, the Children of Kibera Foundation has been accepting restricted donations on behalf of Joab and his siblings. We need only $2500 to buy new school uniforms and books for 8th grade for Joab and his brother, and to pay for them to get extra tutoring five days a week after school. We have also been providing them with a cooked dinner each night Monday to Friday, and we send them to their humble home with something to eat for breakfast the next morning before going to school. We are a very small organization registered as a 501c3 in Washington DC, and working on the ground in Kibera. We need your help, please visit our site. So far, we have received only $300 in donations to help Joab and his siblings, and our staff bought them new shoes, food in November and December, and paid for a tutor for one month. 2010 is the final year before high school for Joab and Jared, please make a donation so you can give them the support to succeed at school. Thank you, Ken. http://www.childrenofkibera.org

i feel sorry for these kids i hope obama drinks the blood of every terrorist in afghanistan!!!!!
uhh… yessss that is kinda wierd.u cant really drink terrorist blood ew. that is disgustingg. ^.^ although that would be awesome if there were no more terrorists.but then obama would be like… a vampire dude :>
Our teacher made us watch these videos and answer 154 questions about these kids. While the videos were very interesting, and it was different to see how children live there lives, I don’t think 154 questions is that necessary. Come on, that’s 22 questions per child and each segment is barely 10 mins long!
I would like to purchase this series. Please let me know how I can do that. Thank you, Diane

I cannot help but think of the multitudes of american children that go without and get a poor education as I watch this. I have no idea why we do not and will not help those locally first. It seems way to easy to focus on people an ocean away but allow those at our back doors to suffer. Detestable if you ask me.
It’s very interesting. I would like to see what happend. Are ther graduated already?
My first langiage is spanish, me gustaria saber el siguiente episodio se graduaron? alguien me mandaria alguna informacion?
Were actually learning about this program in my school. Its pretty Fasinating how Joab, Nanvi, & Others have this oppertunity to achive going to school. Im doing a report on Raluca because im fasinated on her life.
ooooo i live in the states and seeing how hard it is to get an education elswere it makes me appriciate all the givings we have in the U.S.A, these children are brave some would risk ther life for a better one in the futer thats true courage
I just finished watching episode 2 of this series, Back to School, which, along with original 2002 Time for School broadcast, can be watched in their entirety online. Part 3 is coming in September. I’m really glad I watched.
thesis help
Watching this film really makes me apppreciate the educational system here in the USA, reguardless of the complaints we hear about in the media. I am glad I had the opportunity to watch the films.
