- For centuries now, the Dorn Savanna has been the lifeline for the Massai people. Until today, they refuse to get involved in the constant upheavals in Kenya and instead continue to cultivate their traditions. The Massai have lived in the border region between Tanzania and Kenya for hundreds of years; almost completely removed from all civilization. In some ways their remoteness has spared them from many ordeals. But on the other hand, this autarkical life can be problematic, especially when it comes to the education of their children.
This is also the case in the Massai village Kasiole. 12 families live in the village. Each hut has two rooms and in each one there lives a family with at least 5 children. Here, there is no space for a school, and needless to say, there are also no teachers. Therefore the children from Kasiole must walk for hours each morning to get to school. Most of the children stay at home and tend the cattle. Many parents are afraid to send their children off on the 10 kilometers long way to school right trough the savanna.
4am. Before going off to school the nightwatch is the task at hand. 8 year old Moseka guards the family's cows and goats. Sometime wild animals sneak into the village at night - a threat to everyone.
When dawn sets in at around 6, the Maasai village Kasiole comes to life. Moseka's nightwatch ends - and his way to school begins.
Students like Moseka from all across the region are setting off this morning on their way to the only school far and wide. Moseka`´s mother worries. In the last few days elefants often visited the area - the Massai consider them to be one of the most dangerous species in wilderness. His mother warns him once again about the possible dangers along the way.
The first kilometres take the children through the burning hot savanna, and this without any water. The family does not have the means to afford a drinking bottle. Their route takes them pass amazing landscapes, and also different Massai villages, some of them already deserted and some just newly built. Through their way of life, it makes no sense for the Massai to build large houses. They will only live 2 to 3 years in them and are built traditionally with walls made from cow manure and straw covered roofs. Only a few children join them from the other villiages, although in Kenya schooling is mandatory, but not enforced by anyone.
The way to school lead Moseka and his friend through the leopards valley - infamous for roaming predators. The Kenyan savanna is a huge open air zoo with an incredible diversity of species. Seen from the perspective of parents who send their children to school every day, it is an unfenced zoo, though. An open space whre the natural law of eat or be eaten is part of every day life. It takes a bit of courage to go to school here.
The students destination: The Ntuka Primary School. The only school within a radius of about 20 kilometers. Often they are too late, but the teacher understands, he is aware of the long school route. - Розваги

I'm Kenyan but from a less dangerous region..I began walking to school at the age of three and a half (about 10km). Sometimes I walked crying and hungry. To cut long story short, I graduated from University with a law degree last year and now there is hope for a brighter future. All thanks to my parents who slept hungry at times to fund my education. *There is hope for this children, May the Almighty God see them through.

I’m South Sudanese. I was born in Kenya and went to kindergarten and first grade in Nairobi, Kenya, due to Sudan’s civil war. I remember wearing green uniforms, getting beatings from teachers and singing the national anthem in English and Swahili back in the early 90’s. It’s one of my favorite anthems. I was sad when we moved to the U.S. We lived close to the capital city but this brings back happy memories for me. God bless you Kenya, for allowing us to go to your schools as refugees.
Bless You ! I hope the USA is kind to you !
You are what I call a queen and a strong black woman 👑 🖤 people who are born in the USA like me will never understand your struggle
I hope they still don't beat their students but I think they do life for them is hard enough They need to stop that outdated practice that British Nuns did.

Not only does the 4 years old zipped across the #Savannah to school with his friends but must tend to the cows as well.🥁🥁🥁🥁
Agreed. God bless the children.
You would do the same.. They just have a different life. Lifestyle is a perception.
Yes the courage, the strength, the perseverance is something that not even the finest of school can teach. God bless these children with a humble heart ❤️
Although....these days one must have almost as much courage to go to one of Uncle Sam's schools....?
with almost monthly killings ....... all with god's blessings....
That's my former school. I was thrilled to see my brothers and some of my primary school friends there, but sad to not see myself. Ntuka Boarding Primary School. My experience was a bit different because I was a boarder. I only experienced the same experience during roundtests and opening days, especially during the rainy season. I am glad that I am a Master's student starting next year in a STEM course. Testimony of great determination and drive.
That madam was your teacher by then
I'm from Ghana and Kenya is the most expected country I want to visit in my life.. I love Africa and Kenya 🇰🇪 is my second home.. one love to every Kenyan
Welcome brother. I love other Africans from all countries as well and how I'd love it if everyone else shared the same feeling
Thanks for loving our country motherland
Most welcome to Kenya. I too look forward to visiting Ghana.

Very very true.. I am from masaai land and we used to walk for more than 6km to school every day through the savanna of amboseli park, but all those struggle made more stronger than before and now am at the university doing my degree. I thank God for his mercy. I really looking to help the other small children who undergoing this struggle to get education. I praying for them to have a bright future ahead.
Do something atleast anything for them please.. You could be the light for them.
@@SumitThapa-kk2zl am trying my level best by creating awareness about the situation. Meeting with students when on holiday and discuss on the issue. Thank you
Am a Kenya's but I would like to visit this place
May I ask a question? I'm so terrified by the video. Isn't the possibility of children being attacked by lions or leopards considerably high? Or do the carnivores usually not see human as their prey? The children seem cautious but not that worried. BTW, congratulate on your achievement!
@@meloveu83 That's my concern as well. Hyena's would jump at the chance of an easy meal too.
Imagine at 4yrs having responsibilities of an adult person.
I wish his dreams come true.
This is painfully their way of life... .
He seems 8. Has have to grow up quick😢
What shattered me most was when she said "School is supposed to change my life". I'm still in tears.
That part, I cried when she said that. That was from a place of pain and just being weary. But she kept going coz school was supposed to change her life. I know this is true for most, but if I was in these people's shoes I wouldn't have bothered sending my child to school. Most of us went through difficulties in our life, but what this kids have to endure just to get education was insane.
Im a Kenyan from a different community,the experiences of these maasai children have left me humbled.I wish the schools would have a feeding programme for every child,its really sad for the kids to walk hungry all day😥.May God see them through their education and fulfill their dreams🙏
I agree. This is Narok county or Kajiado. The county and National government should do something about this..
I can see that adults touch the children's head!! What does that mean? Why do they touch their heads?
Moseka, si te encontrara te apadrinaria😢
@@tenabros5006The young masai are greeted by the older people by touching them their heads
Dear lord forgive me for the many times that I haven't been grateful for what you have done to me.
Seriously i dont even deserve the life that i have.....
I love your prayer, but don't fear as I was already a part of a small group working to some solutions! The Jubilee riders had already made a small difference! As a South African my love for education in Africa remains a big goal! Watch this video... ua-cam.com/video/jYNy2-SL72A/v-deo.html
But continue to pray for the children of the Maasai. Love you lots! Johan South Africa!
Done to you?
Huh to you you mean for you without God youd have nothing. It even the air you breath or life
They have a life they live different we in main society's have luxury and complain to God for not having more we can go to school but we often complain bout shoes clothes be grateful for everything I forget this to thank You Lord
Imagine the anxiety of waiting to hear that your baby arrived safe

@@davidnl1579 their isn't many we walked in groups. They are burned to death if discovered.
@@nzamul1446 I love your culture, its the richest in the country so far
My school was literally 100 metres away from my house, and every morning my parents used to bribe me with cake and chocolates to wake up and go to the school. These kids are really brave. I wish they get more success than they could ever imagine in their life.
I fell in love with beautiful Kenya when I was there, and the Maasai people. They have so little but are so hospitable and welcoming. I now sponsor two Maasai children to attend boarding school where they get fed and educated for the princely sum of a couple of takeaways for me. Watching those kid growing up and having dreams and plans for their future is totally worth it.
Where/how do you sponsor them?
@@jukeboxalibi want to know the same!?
@@horsepower33 i think you can pay school fees to the school and they just attend.
You are a blessing to this world! May you live a happy and fulfilling life!
Thanks for that. A local sponsor took me through school too.
I feel sad that the non-boarding children didn't get to have meals even though they have to come from so far
Ikr, that's so sad 😔
I wish agencies could donate bags of rice at least for these students!!
You'd think they could get left overs and have to option to pay a small amount or do a small amount of sweeping or clean the chalkboard in exchange for food - especially to help them learn!
But they get to drink blood which the boarders don't. 😀
the school is money greedy
I think that all kids should have free meals at school
Yes in countries that care about their people. The worst continent to be a kid is Africa. Most of us have experienced such life in our childhood years.
in a place where it is affordable to do so this should be no problem
@@VladmirPoopN yes I strongly believe so. I also agree that kids should eat but parents should never abdicate their duty in favor of tax payers carrying their load. I also acknowledge that in the face of heartbreaking property like this a welfare state makes more sense even if it borrows from future generations....... end note...
Helllll yeahhh !!! Blood for everyone :DD
Remotest parts of the world are still operating like this. How will they get meals if they are far far away from most civilisations. Governments are usually focused on urban and semi-urban areas. They leave these tribal areas alone.
My highlight was when the little guy says he wants to become a teacher, travel other countries and visit his mother often ❤️
Yes, me too. This warms my heart. I cried. A really good documentary is Papua new guinea and Columbia
And Peru, Nepal and Nicuragua
I was really touched by how the adults tap on the kids' heads as a sign of blessing and goodwill. Shows you the unity and how everyone in the community cares about the children. With that I just fell in love with the Maasai culture. Pure hearted people it seems. Well I'm a Kenyan but I never knew anything of this kind goes on in my country. I was lucky enough and privileged to come from a well off family, living in the city and going to school was just very easy, fun and secure. Simply dawns on me how one easily takes the everyday simple things in life for granted, totally unaware that the same simple things are a far fetched dream to someone else 😞😞
From USA visit me😍😍😍😍😍
Exactly! And not just someone else, but your neighbors!
It's also a form of respect. You don't stretch your hand out to your elders. You humble down with a slight bow
Beautiful to see
Ever since I started watching this, I stopped complaing about life , iI started counting my blessings
Much love from uganda
you can say that again...same here, we shall really count our blessing
I felt that way at first too. However, someone could look at my life and say the same thing. Your problems are your problems and just because other people have it worse than you doesn't make your problems any easier. At least that's how I feel.
it's weird to say but fact is every where you go you face problems according to your surroundings.
And that doesn't make one's problems easier than another's
So when I walked from kireka' to bweyogerere via ntebetebee I thought it was the most dangerous but now I'm more than happy.
When the little one said that she wants to have water, tea and peas instead of tiresome journey; that time I was having lunch with lasagna, pea soup and fruit salad; literally tears rolled out of my eyes. Wish you best kids.
Same, the other video showed kids eating plants for snacks, and I felt like a criminal while having coffee and a piece of cake after a meal
My eyes is on tears now but this comment make me smile 😆 same thought
am literally crying
did you finish your lasagna though?
I've seen giant burgers on TV. So big that even elephants would have trouble stuffing in their mouths. A few bites and the rest go to the wastebasket. Here comes a bunch of kids that for weeks has been dreaming of eating meat and getting beans instead, but only because they were able to pay for boarding.
I thought going to school in Kenya was hard...but this is just on a whole other level...what's more shocking is how many people in the comments can relate. Salute my fellow Kenyans
Frustrates me that the school does not provide even water for the children I am amazed at these children and how strong they are.
Also that they get punished for being late :-(
@@chicalinda4648 😔
@@chicalinda4648 it’s fake. No sane teacher would ever punish students of such conditions. It’s all exaggerated for entertainment

This awesome documentary deserves a huge prize!!! It is a big lesson for us who tend to complain about little problems in life. Thanks a million!!!!!!
True!
@Samuel-The Kenyan kids are more safer than kids in USA.They should do documentaries on mass shootings-ua-cam.com/video/TUjYtMwkDnA/v-deo.html
Samuel I absolutely agree!! I was thinking the same and also thought how great it would be to have kids in school watch these and then have the kids do some type of project about this. Having the kids do a project would be good in the sense of having them think about how other kids don't have much but they're happy! etc... Even the one boy said ''All I need in life is a goat and a cow''! Imagine Canadian,American etc... kids hearing that?
The best documentaries ever!!!!
Not really
Don't know why.... When that women says " I wish my son becomes president of Kenya"... Tears aapeared in my eyes 😢
Of the episodes I watched thus far, this one was the most extreme way to school. These children had ti come across many wild animals. But what was so amazing is that the children are like warriors; they read the land, look beyond their fear, and move forward to their destination
I watch one of these videos and think it can't get worse than this. then in watch the next one and say WTF did I just watch!
I watched them all and this one was the worst because of the fact these kids were starving
I love how the adults of this community greet each child with a touch to the head- it is almost as if they are blessing the children for a safe journey to their destination.
I thought it was really sweet! You’ll notice some rub the children’s heads instead of just a touch. So affectionate!
true
It's the Masai way of greeting children and saying goodbye to them
I agree. We also have a similar way of greeting our elders here in the phiippines but instead of them rubbing our heads, we take their hands and lighty press our forehead in the back of their hands.
Sadly in other parts of the world some people see it as offensive and that’s truly pathetic.
I’m from Kenya also, not from the Maasai tribe but from Kikuyu tribe, i had my hardships as well just to go to school, far walks, no food, no school fees, can’t afford uniforms or books but thank God i never walked 10 kilometers like these poor babies. Never thought I’ll be where I’m at now, just got my degree and I’m very thankful. I believe and i know their dreams and wishes will come true one day as well🖤
TheAgnesBaby amen,blessings to you sister 🙏🏿
Kikuyu, no. Kikuyu area is so rich, better than some western countries
Why you sayin poor i think you and his tribe are same
@@kencapellan4731 i also wanted to say the same thing
Why your tribe dnt slaughter livestock for meat and better nutrients why let kids starve eat wild berries but there is meat
Am Kenyan(Not Maasai though) and I think it's amazing how maasai kids are brought up. Every time a kid meets an elder maasai they have to bow down and let the elder tap their head with the palm of their hands. It shows respect from the kid and blessings from the elder. No wonder they grow up to be excellent members of the community.
Ningún niño debería sufrir hambre, e llorado demasiado con todos estos documentales 😢😢
Being a Kenyan i thought i had it rough walking three kilometres to school barefooted but this one drove me to tears. May God bless every kid that is proud of their culture but ready to step into the world and prove that no matter where you come from, your dreams are valid. These are the stories that matter.
At least it's getting better I only have to walk across our school field
@@jp-gamez.2898 And that is progress
These are amazing documentaries! How did I not see these from 2015 until 2019? I can't stop watching them.
Omg same here! 💔
Me too
me too
Mee too
Same here. I am hooked
Am Kenyan too and had to go to boarding school at 8 years to secure good education. I really thank my parents for the sacrifice they made to see me through. Am glad to have made it and now working making them proud.
A tear jerker!! I finally understood what my classmates in primary school went through…I can’t imagine we were subjected to the same exams/ standards when they had gone through hell, just to be in class. It’s painful
this documentary is very true i am a maasai too from Narok county and life was hard back then our biggest threat were the elephants and the Pokot raiders the lions mostly attacked during the day when herding. My biggest joy of going to school was because i used to get time to play with my fiends from few hills away those days there was nothing like free lunch at school, though maziwa ya nyayo came in handy. I do pray to God that one day i will be able to give back to my society and the entire country through education( ensuring that every child in this country goes to school and also teachers to improve their learner to teacher interactions during lessons). One throwback i really enjoyed was that during herding we always had that one friendly cow that we suckled milk from me and my friends which resulted to a beating in the evening by my dad but that didn't hurt much because we still did it again and again.
best wishes from India...
Good share Saitoti
I was in boarding in Pokot in the mid-80s and can relate to seeing kids coming from distance from Nowhere!!
And luckily in our traditions, we live and respect wild animals ,

this is my country but i was never put in such conditions, i first experienced this life last year when we went for mission in Maasai land, we walked 14km just to preach the goodnews, at times i feel ashamed as a Kenyan because as a country we ought to have done something, am a student too in the universty , but when am done i will take part in making a change
good to hear that
Okay. but don't be ashamed of your country. There is only much that you can do.
👍
Hey buddy, NEVER feel ashamed from where you come from!!! Only criminals, rapist, killers should feel that way. You should be PROUD of who you are and how much you are accomplishing and passed the good onto others. God bless you man!!!
I never went through this even as a Kenyan 😭😭😭
Am Kenyan living in Qatar. This tough life doesn't apply to all of us although the struggle is almost the same. We went to school almost the same way. We have started initiatives to improve our situations in the villages and I thank God there's improvement

Any way in which we can check on how she progressed school. I badly want to know how she is doing
The fact that everyone touches their heads as they pass. It's like a blessing checkpoint to me watching them pass by.
It's their way of greeting children
They laughed they weren't punished..the teacher just wanted to show what happens. That's why the whole class giggled
Well said! Tight-knit community...and the kids on an empty stomach hold hands on their way to and from school as they dodge leopards, elephants and lions! I cried watching this.
Thanks for sharing this. I am one of the children of the Savannah. I faced similar challenges while growing up and schooling. It was tough but we were tougher.

The Maasai are amazing. Up until this last year I had no idea people still lived nomadic lives. It's amazing how they respect nature and live with it instead of exploiting it. I hope that each of these children have gone on to continue their education and their dreams come true. They already have such a rich and beautiful culture, all they need is a way to achieve their dreams ♡ i wish so badly that I could give fresh fruits and cooked meats to each child at that school.

This makes me sad. These children are hungry and tired. I'm inspired to join an organization that helps these children get their education.
It pisses me off when the kids said he was hungry while sucking milk from a cows utter. Do they realize they have a YARD FULL OF BEEF?? Roast, ribs, T-bone's you name it! It's all just looking in your kitchen window!
@@amybaby04 But if they eat the animals they won't have anything left. If they milk the animals the animals are alive and they are nourished. They only eat meat on special occasions.
@@vickikendricks I didn't day slaughter all of them. The kids are STARVING, and malnourished. Obviously the milk isn't cutting it. One of those animals would last that family a MONTH or more. Your telling me they can't butcher one? This is child neglect at it's finest! These kids are STARVING FOR NO REASON! How the hell do the parents sleep at night? A pumpkin has a higher IQ then these "adults" it pisses me off! They could kill a goat and drink the milk. It's not rocket science, it's common sense. But anyone who makes their kids travel that far to school without supervision thru dangerous terrain should be allowed to have a child to begin with.
@@vickikendricks Another think. What do they feed their animals? They sure have enough of whatever to keep the cows full, but let the child starve. I don't understand this.
@@amybaby04 They only eat meat on special occasions that's it and mostly guys. Also, they're Nomads so when the grass and water gets too low to feed their livestock they move. That's why their houses are of mud its meant to temporary, also the livestock is used as currency.
I hope the families were paid for this documentary
Yeah right Europeans properly compensating Africans or any natives to that matter HAHAHHAHAHA HAHHA such wishful thinking my gullible friend. Going by the track record they where most likely used and paid peanuts
@@alexandervalaris72 yes. You are right. Only a little cash. And you are forgotten. Plus the video has exaggerations. No way a 4-year-old who took only tea in the morning comes home and only sips some milk and goes to graze. Goodness, he'll collapse from hunger. Did you see his chubby cheeks?
Once th eir done filming, nothing changes. I remember months after Slumdog Millionaire was done filming and had massive success. There was an article about the little girl who plays "young Latika" almost being sold by her own father.
alexander valaris the audacity of your comment is unbelievable. You probably have never left Texas and drive a truck for living. They do get paid
@@alexandervalaris72 why is it always the European fault? Anytime some country is sinking why does America have to come save the day? We give billions of $ to 3rd world countries to help their people. Those governments take the $ that is for the people and use it to get rich. This happens in North Korea all the time
I cry alot watching this for the second time. 😭 I grew up in Kenya and had a taste of both the city and the country life and all I can say is, 'God bless all children. ' Only God will understand our individual journeys. Whenever you meet s omebody looking all ruggedy, never judge. In Kenya we say, ' To understand my story, ask my shoe.'
The Massai people's commitment to preserving their traditions in the Dorn Savanna is truly inspiring. Despite the challenges they face, like the long and dangerous journey to school, their determination to educate their children shines through. Thanks to the documentary for shedding light on their unique way of life and the importance of education.
To be honest these are some of the best documentaries I’ve seen amazing job
Maya n o
Well you see these amazing documentaries but never realize what does the crew do apart from recording like have you ever seen in at least ONE of the documentaries the crew helping them through all they do is record the stuff not even help or give them something.
Welcome to Kenya our motherland
and what an amazing country, 🇰🇪 it's mine!
yup... love their documentaries very much
On a practical note, I think that the Kenyan government can afford a program for hot school lunch. It is heart breaking to see these children so hungry yet there are millions of dollars being looted. I also recognize the fact that I too should see how I can help - no matter how small my contribution may be. Its amazing the things we take for granted.
True ,but corruption is the issue. Not only can National gov do it, but county gov as well but has failed. The reserve -Maasai Mara -generate lot of revenue from tourists- one wonder what they do with the money if they cant help people who live in the reserve.This people ought be number one priority with revenue generated by the game reserve.
Donating doesn’t help as much as we think, as most of the money or contributions goes through the hands of the government and they end up taking most of it for themselves instead of actually using it to help those in need but then again that’s the case with most charities, their pocketing most of the money instuof actually using it to help people just like corrupt governments and why I’m weary of charities
@@lovelydiva06 True, I was thinking though of helping individual students, I too am wary of charities.
Plus even the boarders only get one meal a day! And a bowl of beans! Not much in that to keep them going. They do look strong and healthy though.
God bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am Kenyan. Watching Little Lerionka skipping and hopping with the gazelles, warthogs and Gnus brings tears to my eyes. It is beautiful
This is an eye opener for us living closer to the city of Nairobi and being ungrateful for the small things we observe as normal daily routine..
I'm hooked. I can't stop watching documentaries on most dangerous ways to school. I told my daughter to watch this kind of documentaries so she will value her education more and appreciate simple things.
It's not a story about food but a story about the struggle of getting education.... Blessed children
So proud of that girl.. She has dreAms and wanted to have better life for her family rather getting married in early age.. Keep going little girl.. And their survival skills against wild animals is great..
Who else is watching this 7 years after being uploaded
Those tiny fruits the little kids ate on the way remind of my past when I didn't have breakfast, lunch and not sure of supper and I had to go to school.Used to walk 2kms to school come back home for lunch which I rarely found and then go back for afternoon classes.I used to eat them on my way😄!God bless these kids
God Bless you too.
That's true way back home
God Bless you as well Stephen.
Same here bros 😀
People who has faced such life should unite and make some organization for food of such children at d school.lf someone will take initiative outside world will definately help Just start by local people we shall help u .ln lndia ' Akshaypatra Foundation' is giving midday meal to 18 lacs chidren daily with d help of govt. and donations. I request u to get lnformation about 'Akshaypatra Foundation' and start a move in kenya for such purpose .ln one's every good mission god is always there to support.
I'm teacher in tribal Development department of India, Govt provide each and everything including breakfast, lunch, dinner. Then also students are not serious about study. Their parents are only interested in money deposited in students bank account. This academic year I'm going to show this series to my students
😍
safe Elias here in South Africa lot of schools in rural areas don't have enough resources
@@khustaricomantshazi9704 why African countries are poorer in terms of money only?
SCIENCE CHILD our leaders are selling us to the highest bidders and inrich themselves ,I mean we have everything here in Africa but our leaders are corrupt to tge core
@@khustaricomantshazi9704 why Should u PEOPLE are not protest against this bullshit government?is african govt elected by democracy (by the people,for the people,of the people) ?
I’ve been obsessed with this program. I’ve watched it with my 9yr old daughter who just started going school on her own in uk and for some reason I’m in in awe how these parents can be so brave to send their little ones with no form of communication to know if they have reached school safely or not. They just have to wait until the day has ended to see if their child turns back up. Meanwhile I’ve equipped my daughter with a mobile phone. I track her and she walks with the school rush and school is 8mins around the corner. Honestly it really teaches me and my child a lot of gratitude for what we have and don’t have. And also teaches me my 9yr old don’t need a phone.
My heart is breaking as I watch these children walk through dangerous forest where wild animals roam around. Happy in the sense that they were determined to learn how to read n write. In spite of their living conditions, parents send their children to school. Thank you for the Organizational that is now helping them.God bless!
"I know there are buffaloes and elephants on the way, but school is supposed to change my life. I simply have to take this route.."
😭😇
Such determination and courage for a little young child... Bless their little hearts... all of 'em!
That teacher just made me mad. She already knows they travel a long time and have no food to eat. Really.
Ebony Lewis actually the kid said to the teacher in Swahili that “the mzungu (white people) made us go to the slaughter house!” So the documentary people did it on purpose for content
The teacher just pretended to beat them. The kane didn't even land on their hands and they went back to seat smiling. In any case, they were late because the filmers were with them in the plains.
Lilly Lillie omg 😭 I feel bad for them bruh
@@ianmuriithi9370 She beat them. Angalia vizuri
as a former teacher, the appearance of discipline is important to the overall class. The woman was joking with them, playing acting discipline in order to maintain overall order in classroom but it was a small kindness, the kind we all need as children...
I like that in this episode one of the mothers finally mentions the biggest threat to these kids that are walking long distances alone , grown men!!
I’m in tears. I’m in awe. They are so humble. I’m making it my duty to meet them!!! Inshallah 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some will go here for fun, champagne in the savanna at sunrise and relaxation, while others (children) are traversing dangerous territories to go to school. Life no balance😓😞. This has opened my eyes, when I plan to go for a safari, to pack some food, books, school accessories for these Maasai children. God always protects them.
God will bless you
what a beautiful country! The land of strong and brave people! I wish, all your dreams come true... From Russia with love
Beautiful indeed
so great, I went through the same, am from kenya
A maasai warrior can kill a lion thats how brave they are
thank you fro the savvannah and karibu..welcome
We return the love from Kenya
I will not take my life for granted after seeing this. Education is really important. Get your education and succeed in life by the grace of God🙌🏽😧✝
I was hooked on the MOST DANGEROUS WAYS TO SCHOOL episodes. I wish there are more episodes. Best documentaries ever, and I am 50 years old and an avid documentary watcher. Best work ever. I have told a lot of my friends
Koitangai is soo pretty 😭.May God keep her in her journey for the quest of education.
I'm from Kenya and I wish our corrupt government could take the time to watch this..
They always watch
And know this is happening
They have always known
But this is not a thing for them
So heartless
I am Kenyan too, and they do not give a hoot
Hata usiseme wazungu wanasoma pia ficha white, I mean it's not fair actually
they do watch they just don't care
😀😁🤣
Sad to see the people and children's sufferings and struggles, may the kids have great future and bring their family have a better life , Love from India 💖
I love the parents in these series, they want to educate their kids no matter the gender of the child and no matter how impoverished they are.
I loved watching them holding hands as they walked and giggling like they weren't facing an hours-long trek through the African savanna with no food or water. God bless them, they were just so brave and so sweet.
The land is beautiful, but dangerous at the same time,The kids are innocent but very brave, the community is loving and caring , you can tell by the way they bless the kids by touching their heads...in short every child has a dream.What an amazing documentary 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yeah, I noticed the head touching as well.
It's a way of blessing or greeting🇰🇪
am Kenyan that's how masaai great kids they can't shake hands it's their tradition
Esther Wangui wow that is very sweet
it is
Determination, Braveness and hopeful for their future dreams.The ambitious aspiring doctor Koitangai is very beautiful, she is grateful tht her parents cld afford boarding schl otherwise she wld be forced in to marriage at only 12.😒.
My heart sank when Moseika said he wish they cld also be given food at schl just like the boarders. His breakfast was a few drops of milk direct from the cow's udder😢.
4yr old Loleinka plays the role of his father😰.
All these documentaries i watched from Nepal, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Ethiopia, etc. Poverty is their common denominator. May all these courageous children's dreams come to pass.
Absolutely true, Am a neighbor to Maasai tribe but for me, I used to walk 2km to school every morning and return every evening. It shaped me in many different ways.
I'm Kenyan I dint know this happens... I'm just heartbroken😢 may the dreams of this kids come to life
Same here and all we see and hear is politicians parking their helicopters and preaching BBI, BBL, BBI, day in, day out......!
This is so true.
@@andayimushenye9839 BBI everywhere
I am Tanzanian but i feel for those young kids i love kenya and africa..we must learn from this and each opportunity we get we have to remember such debt to pay to our community.
Maybe you Indian
The 4 year old is so adorable. I hope he keeps learning and teaching his mom how to read and count
The wild animals stunned me and the bravery and hard work of the children. I wish I lived there. Kenya is beautiful. Best documentary ever. Thanks from Canada
It is beautiful... Canada is beautiful, too.
I;ve been dreaming of Canada for a while now.Would love to do my Masters degree there. I'm Kenyan,maybe we can do an exchange🤗🤗
The tears in her eyes knowing that it will take days to hear her baby made it to school safely 😢
I can't imagine her anxiety 🥺
Precious kids!! Moseka stole my heart I want him to eat a lot of meat and I wish I had a way to pay for his boarding school... I wish they every one of them get to fulfill their most precious dreams
Precious elephants and rhinos the government is allowing to go extinct. If they are willing to let species of animals go.extinct it's safe to say they dont and will never give a crap about these kids. Sorry was my filter supposed to block that
😰 This is a tough and dangerous life for these kids. Yet they are supposed to compete for opportunities with other kenyans. May God provide for them to become resourceful despite their challenges
Am proud Kenyan from the Eastern region. Walking to school bare footed reminds me of the roots of education. Like they used to say, the roots are bitter but the fruits are sweet. I hope and pray that the strong boys and girls from the South East parts of Kenya will one day study without going through the dangers they face in their quest for education...
These are some STRONG, very brave children. My heart goes out to them and their families.
This should be renamed THE WORLD MOST EPIC WAYS TO SCHOOL ...Kenya is beautiful
Welcome to Kenya
Giraffes and zebras insane
@@katiempojer yes all kind of animals are here
Heartbreaking 🇰🇪💔,
I Love Kenyans from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Yeah.
I'm so conflicted. My heart aches for these kids, and yet I envy their experiences.
I am proudly Kenyan and I hope the ministry of education and well wishers continue elevating some of the challenges faced by the Maasai community so that the get a equal opportunity for an education. BRAVO TO THE DOCUMETARY PRODUCERS.
"I don't punish them if they're late from an elephant." Just if they're late from staying up all night, malnutrition, thirst, diarrhea, menstruation, getting lost or overwhelming fatigue.
S.M.P. Newstead so sad yo😔
Maybe you should send them money then
@@big.r5550 People should find ways to send money, sure, but that is not really the point. The point is not to be cruel to others, especially children, particularly for circumstances outside of their control.
Maasai's are one of the richest people in Kenya, one family can have as much as 500 heads of cattle and 1000 goats which is 200k dollars. They are not poor, it is their culture.
I feel bad that they get whipped for beating late even tho the teacher knows the struggle they go through to get there
I am a 38yr. old grown woman, but these children inspire me!!! God please bless and protect these little Angels!! Much love from Houston, Texas.
Thank you Belle!
@@nkbill9192 💓💓
We can all learn something from these kids. While Americans complain about pictures and names of syrup and pancake mixes on social media from the comfort of their own homes, this is happening. God bless these children, I hope they become successful and bring some change not only to their lives, but their families and anyone around them. I know they will make a change for the better for their people. These documentaries are so eye-opening.
I m so touched by the struggle if these kids.They are so innocent sweet,don't complain and just smile having big dreams.We must count His blessings
Indeed. And help when where we can.
