Naomy is an exceptional woman who lives in Kenya, Africa. She works incredibly hard on her small farm plot to feed her family and to make ends meet. She does all of this in a world where weather, water shortage, harsh climate, and poverty create challenges that most of us would not even understand.
Naomy and Emmanuel have also been using videos to tell stories about their home and their life across the world. These videos have generated enough income to pay for Emmanuel's yearly school fees, his shoes, his school uniform, and even a few groceries. Naomy and Emmanuel have made videos about food, farming, water gathering, animals near their home, the local market, and almost anything that would be interesting to people in other areas of the world.
Naomy narrates and explains the challenges of water scarcity, the difficulties in the farming business, and the hope that comes with the sprouting of the crops. Emmanuel shows us his fire building skills as he cooks for the family and he sorts beans from the harvest.
But farming alone won't pay for all of the expenses in Kenya. Emmanuel's school fees are difficult to manage. Emmanuel and Naomy have been using the small income from uploading videos to pay for the fees. They have even managed to buy Emmanuel a new pair of shoes, a school uniform, and a backpack. Emmanuel proudly shows us the shoes that they bought with his earnings.
Naomy recorded a small girl fetching water at a roadside drainage ditch. When that footage was originally uploaded, Naomy took some of the money that she had earned and she found the child in the neighbouring village. Naomy bought a school uniform and shoes for this child as well. There was enough money left in the young girl's share to also buy the family a basket of groceries. It was important to Naomy to share some of her good fortune.
Naomy and Emmanuel will continue to upload videos, assisted by a Canadian friend, so that Emmanuel will be able to receive the education that he deserves.
If anyone has questions or would like to assist Naomy and Emmanuel in any way, they can do so through this channel or by email at mojo_videos@hotmail.com (David McNab)
