The Only Living Boy in New York

We’re doing a video about the challenges of information dissemination between the various organization in Dadaab and the refugee community and how FilmAid is uniquely able to help in that struggle by producing informative videos that can convey life-saving knowledge on a large scale in a a variety of languages.

Saturday was spent drowning in acronyms and interviewing numerous reps from a variety of NGOs here at the camp.  Above are some photos I took along the way.  The first two are on the outskirts of Dagahaley camp, which is known as Bula Bakti or “place of the corpses.”  This is where the refugees have to wait for several weeks before they are processed through the system.  The security here is very ineffective, and it is a frequent occurrence to wake up and find a tent destroyed and a woman inside who has been raped in the night.  The second two are at the MSF (Doctors Without Borders) medical center, also in Dagahaley, in the malnutrition ward.
