Happy #EarthDay from Orkeeswa School! We have been growing all of our own veggies for the past 10 years, and we use them to provide our students with two hot meals a day! #sustainablegardening

The work continues! Our #GlobalScholars Kesuma and Sioni have been using their Spring Break to travel around #California to screen their student-made film #BlackHeadCow and facilitate dialogues about #earlymarriage. We are very proud of their commitment! #bethechange #filmmaking

"My sister went to Orkeeswa and she has taught me a lot. I want to study like her so I can become a pilot."

Happy #NationalSiblingDay! Orkeeswa graduate Sioni is an excellent role model for her younger brother Godleader, who has just joined Orkeeswa as a new 6th grader!

Our #GlobalScholar Sioni presented the Orkeeswa film #BlackHeadCow last month in collaboration with the @FemMajority! It's a student-made film about #earlymarriage in #Maasai communities. Sioni is working hard to end this practice and be a role model to young girls! https://t.co/vfdo5ngZKz

Siono Ayubu at @FemMajority yesterday explains why she & her classmates made the film #BlackHeadCow. “I wanted to do something that the community can learn from, that can open up discussions…This was a chance for young people to speak to the elders” #CSW62 #YouthVoices
