Learning Swahili in a refugge camp

Young Somalis displaced from the war in their country, live in poor conditions in a refugee camp in Kenya with 250 thousand people. Dadaab has the size of the City of Nice in France, or Bari in Italy. They learn Swahili in the primary school ‘Horyal’, that means ‘showing the path’, a revealing possibility that despite all odds casts some light in in a road strewn with obstacles.
