Jambo Kenya
Eleven kids sign up for a trip to Kenya. With no clear idea of what's ahead. Some don't know that they'll be teaching kids in a local village. And some don't know that they'll end up building a school house "from scratch". And for sure, no one expects to be chased by a wild elephant! All this happens and more. 
Despite growing up on the Discovery Channel they just aren't prepared for the breathtaking beauty of the landscape and the friendliness of the people. Or the stoic calm with which the people accept their lot. No clean water. Shacks for homes. Dark and dingy classrooms. This isn't a make-believe movie shot on a fake movie set. Jambo Kenya! It's Africa for real!
Jambo Kenya! was produced and directed by award-winning Lalita Krishna and Insynch Video for TVO and debuted at the Spockets Film Festival. The music is produced by Amin Bhatia with original songs written and performed by Adam Solomon.
