Its ocean. Kenya the children might have made a game out of it but for omar ali this is more of a conservation mission. Like many of you can countries kenya is grappling with a garbage problem there are no public dustbins for people to dump their trash and theres no garbage collection center. With the trash piling up people have had to take matters into their own hands collection and recycling in mars help to plug up.

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 with some of the young prisoners are considering taking up fencing long term.
