PBS Wide Angle is showing a segment of its ongoing groundbreaking documentary series "Time For School" on September 9th, 10th, 11th and the week of September 21st on many PBS markets around the USA, please check your local PBS listings for a showtime. One of the seven children that the PBS Wide Angle production crew has followed is Joab, now an adolescent boy growing up in Kibera and the struggles he goes through to get an education before and after he loses his parents. These are the kind of amazing dedicated children for whom your support and our work at the Children of Kibera Foundation makes an immense difference. Joab's teacher and assistant principal at Ayany Primary School, Mrs. Leah Asego, was also my teacher in 5th and 6th grade, a real hero, still doing heroic work. Be sure to tune in to tonight's episode on PBS to see their stories of what it takes to give a child in Kibera a shot in life through education.
PBS and the Wide Angle team have selected Children of Kibera Foundation ( http://www.childrenofkibera.org ) as one of the recommended charities to which their viewers can go to make donations to support orphans and vulnerable children like Joab. If you can tune in to PBS tonight to watch the show, please do with as many of your friends and family as possible. The earlier episodes of this documentary series that began in 2003 have been powerful and very well done. I am sure you will be touched to see the story of Joab from Kibera tonight on the show along with other kids from six other countries around the world. If you can not tune in at the right time for the show on your local PBS station, you can catch the current season of "Time to School" on the PBS Wide Angle website at http://www.pbs.org/wnet/wideangle/episodes/time-for-school-series/how-yo u-can-help/5521/
Thank you so much for your support of our work and the difference you have made possible in the lives of all the children we serve in Kibera.
