the africa mr busey fit us in on what it was about i mean nacho fide. that prompted you guys to give her this award. goes to which. makes up. the jury. watched. mr bassett west i'm sorry is independence is not something that you would say is high up on the international community's agenda. is awarding her this award is somewhat indorsing because. absolutely there were 6 to do it is $0.07 is to be invoked it must all be luck independent of the sense

of. moment in time where we're having so many challenges in the book we need you to eat every territory on planet earth and how to record so definition also contribute to be the best that it can be. over this. situation for so long we look at this i love you know it was that it isn't going to eat something but all about you say i it's been going on for long enough i mean just reading into it we know that this is somebody who has been fighting for this pause for for nearly 3 decades and i wondered if timing has anything to do with her getting this award now. that it is over considering it was a big i was just with a mission to destroy the footprints and it gives us adventure and was a. situation for a longer period we believe the time now if not now when is it good to be the house

bit i mean there's this kind of situation and this is what we come to what kind of fork 'd to wit. to do it with all kinds of medicine have to be time going to catch mr busey our viewers might not know but you yourself won this award back in 20th and i one day is what did it change for you. you know it will long for you because well so strongly right that is your situation. liz that spark lives and destroyed was not good at it provided a sense of protection the sense that this is a big network of a lot of people around the world what the addition of that is that we believe it is going to situations so the idea what who does what light on and i didn't just put that on people resume going on there this up be a good song and united it's a big lead up in the midwest that it. really didn't want to show so the world of

these i didn't want to live look the action is also cool but it's before it gets enough for you to do addition up east because of younger people who come here to learn about what they believe or do something but. right most of us i guess one more i mean we're spotlight saying i mean i'm so high that today because he is an african yourself an african and just perhaps the last thing you talk to the significance of individual africans rising up and standing up for pauses as itself you have so rightly displayed i think there must live across the centuries we've always afraid goes down not to what is right it's time you know for what is just. just going to go good program cuts will force gun he does so short of the. citizens well i'm going to vote no we need to see more especially younger generations really really need to speak up and stand up so kind of changes

for the better good of a lot of challenges when the continent of the continent defines us in so many areas where most local you know got up what you can because you see political situation what directives so we need most into this was done up one individual it's been working with all of us kind of big difference well even they see from the right livelihood towards thank you. our next story is an island kenya and a nursery school serving disadvantaged children. office free pre-primary education including meals stationery and uniform saying dancing and the author of the curriculum but as you're about to see the school also puts an emphasis on teaching children how to care for the environment.

it's ocean. nasri in kenya the children might have made a game out of it but for omar ali this is more of a possible conservation mission. like many african countries kenya is grappling with a garbage problem there are no public dustbins for people to dump their trash and there's no garbage collection center. with the trash piling up people have had to take matters into their own hands collection and recycling. mars help to plug up. he told us we can go to the beach to swim after.

the extent of ocean pollution really he told mark studies have shown that the ocean is the 2nd most polluted in the world this affects both the marini life and the human food supply here in amar decided to start doing his bit to protect the ocean . i was staying in one of these big board by the seashore there but one time the boat had injured. but when i came out of the boat he was bad bad bad. blustery but i got out everywhere and there was peace blanket around you know and there was a lot of there was no doing anything and also i thought maybe a good idea what i've written this you can come up and clean up i'll be you know just for the small of the area to have kids playing there you know just how it started. but omar didn't just collect the boxes he used them to build and nursery

school. but easier conservative island and some locals were not happy when omar opened the school. no one has found this country vietnam. so there were really is a most. beautiful old who would pull the wind was everything but my thought of. the whiskey and the wine used to get in the book all the community important because. i don't mars school these youngsters are learning high time lessons not only in the classroom but out in the open air where the ocean needs their help. again now teaching inmates to handle school it may seem like an unlikely approach to rehabilitate a prison but that's exactly what is happening at one jail in sydney. this is fencing with

a difference all of those taking part are young offenders in senegal. life is tough behind bars the united nations said in a report last year that the joorabchian of preach al detention in senegal often exceeds the sentence which would have been handed out but fencing is helping to rehabilitate this 17 year old did not want to be identified more. with the full set up and before i started fencing. as i used to get angry really quickly. in fencing if you get angry easily you won't get to stay the course. is in your heart but when you practice you change your behavior. you become dignified honest and tolerant. of. the idea is the brainchild of ngo for the smile of

a child with the offer of his approval they pick up the young offenders from the prison in chess and take them to a local gym just being able to breathe the outside air is a blessing. only see the young come out of the prison they are tense. they are tense they are not open they are a bit closed off. but as soon as we bring them to defensing they start the session and they start to enjoy themselves and their faces start opening up a little but that is when they start opening up and you see the benefits of fencing that. some of the young prisoners are considering taking up fencing long term. while the for the moment fencing is my passion i've already spoken with my father he's given me good advice and he agrees that i can do fencing outside the prison.

of the 300 young people to have gone through the program none have really offended fencing is making a difference in seneca. and that. is that ok as always you can catch all our stories on our website and facebook page the next time i thank. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word emerged and you could. be coaxing germany to learn german why not come with him simple online on your mobile and free stuff d w z e learning course you can speak german made it seem. a little more. with your family scattered across the globe. it's a good substitute to do to. return back to the brit school should get the mind of
