Today the first group left us. It was very special for us, the second group, to see what has grown between the first group and the KFI students since their arrival. And from now on it is up to us to continue their great work. The students are a bit upset but I notice that in Tanzania people do not deal with emotions the way we are used to do. Anna, Evelyne, Paco and Tobias: thank you very much for leading us the past days. Furthermore we watched the Lion King. The students were very excited because Hakuna Matata and some other phrases in this film are Swahili. We also watched the four documentary's the students made. The subjects are very heavy: HIV, pregnant women in hospitals, young people who do not have access to proper education and the last film was about the Dalladalla busses, but even this film brought up the corruption in Tanzania. All the films are very interesting and nice to watch. There are a few things they have to learn, for example how to use translations. These things are so normal for us, but it needs to be explained to the students here. Forgetting these small things in my opinion the students are very talented and in the next three weeks we will make excellent filmmakers of them. As they say here: each one teach one.
