The First Grader with Naomie Harris and Oliver Litondo

This story of Kenya, set in remote Kenyan bushland will change you.

This week a colleague took me to see The Frst Grader. I was chiiled, I laughed, wept and learned.

Appreciate the struggles of the Kenyan people, draw on the inspiration that comes from never giving up.

We recommend this wonderful experience to you.
