This week, CNN International's Inside Africa featured an interview with producer/director Carol Pineau and clips from Kenya Stories: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/international/2008/02/27/inside.africa.kenya.stories.cnn
Already we have received many positive responses to this story.
"I just saw a compelling piece on CNN International and cannot express how proud I am of these young Kenyan business owners....I would like to offer my support."
"Hopefully this is a discussion opened to have meaningful dialogue and solutions for the betterment and upliftment of all..."
"I saw the piece on CNN featuring 'Kenya Stories'... I was very moved by this story."

Karibu! Welcome to Kenya Stories Blog!
Kenya Stories is a film-in-progress about young Kenyan entrepreneurs as they compete in a business plan competition and attempt to build their businesses. Today they struggle to achieve their dreams amidst the current political crisis in Kenya. Their stories continue......and this is where you can read about it as it happens.
The six people featured in Kenya Stories will post updates about themselves on this blog. Carol Pineau, the producer of the film, will post updates about the film. Occasionally we'll have other guests, as well, including some of 100 top participants in the business plan competition (their stories are on the main website http://www.kenyastories.com/) Kenya Stories is the brainchild of Bill Stevenson from Lenovo (check out his blog at http://lenovoblogs.com/heartofbusiness/), we look forward to his contributions here as well.
Comment, encourage, ask questions. This is where you can engage with all 100 participants from Kenya Stories. When you post, tell us who you are and where you're from. If you want to be contacted directly, feel free to leave your email address. If you have any questions for the moderator, contact us at AfricaBiz@aol.com.
We'd like to hear from you. If you do engage with these entrepreneurs, share your story.
