After a survey I found that KFS is a school that had more
practical lessons compared to the rest.
Entertainment. I believe that life is too serious and I
would like to bring moments of ease through film.

My name Grishon Onyango. I am 21 years old.
My passion is photography and filmmaking.
I got my chance when my friend told me
about Hot Sun Foundation. My mom told me to come, but I didn't know how to get
here. I tried three times and
finallyfound it and joined Kibera Film School.
I am just feeling happy about myself. I go from step to step. I didn't know how to edit and now I do. I keep learning.
I made a short video for the project
"Operation Smile" that helps children with cleft palates and other
problems. I am proud that my skills can
help others. Now I have some experience.
I am a filmmaker.
Hot Sun Foundation is a platform to achieve
want you want to do in life.
Message to our supporters:
I just want to thank you for being kind and
generous.
I hope you will continue helping and you
will be blessed.
Sincere thanks from all of us at Hot Sun
Foundation!
