Last year, a cultural exchange project took place between Eleanor Roosevelt High School , New York and Okok Secondary School , Kenya.  The students created collections of masks, books and videos for presentation to each other, designed to teach their counterparts about each others’ lives.

The students used their masks to communicate individual themes while using still and video cameras to document their communities, culture, and social and political concerns important to them as teenagers growing up in New York City and Kisumu , Kenya.

The Kenyan and New York City youth communicated their ideas using several creative forms in articulating their concerns as individuals and as a community across cultures. In 2007, Kiboko Projects will return to Kenya to present the results of the Eleanor Roosevelt High School students. The Kenyan youth will have a new opportunity to respond to the projects.
