- "It is superb.

Thanks to BBC Digital Storytelling.

You give our tribe hope and strength in our struggle for liberation from unrecognition, powerlessness, poverty, oppression, segregation and discrimination.

Thanks a lot."

My Tribe. By Gill Pirt, Chebet.

Please tell us about yourself.

I live in Goole, East Yorkshire. I am the wife of Graham, and mum to Ben and Sam - two great lads.

I was brought up in Hull but have lived and worked in many places since leaving at the age of 18.

I am a great believer in the power of 'ordinary' people helping other 'ordinary' people.

I have been working as a volunteer myself for the last 24-years - phew! - and professionally in the voluntary sector for the last 19-years.

I am presently organiser of Home-Start in the Goole area, enabling volunteers to support young families under stress.

What's your story about?

The Sengwer tribe - and me.

A chance meeting turned into something very special and I tried to share the feelings of friendship and sense of privilege via the film, and also to give an insight into everyday life.

It was great fun to show my visits to Samwell the dentist, and Kuko the 104-year-old Sengwer elder.

But most of all I tried to convey my respect and admiration for these gentle, resourceful people, living in such adverse conditions with so many needs - yet remaining cheerful and determined, steadily getting on with their lives.

As I left they said I could talk "as a Sengwer woman", and this is what I hope I have done.

Why did you choose to tell this particular story?

Having only just returned from Kenya it seemed that BBC Digital Storytelling found me!

I could not pass by the opportunity to put down my very recent experiences in such an exciting - and professional - way.

I was very grateful that I could draw attention to the Sengwer tribe, this film will greatly encourage them, and show that other people respect their tribe and care about them.

They are a marginalised and oppressed people who have had a very raw deal.

Very many thanks to the multitalented team who assisted me in this very difficult - but joyful - birth!! I have learned and enjoyed much.
