Helpful Hannah Hippo

Hannah just wants to be helpful! This little hippo finds a tiny chick  that was washed away in a flood. Join her on her journey to reunite her little friend with her missing family. Along the way, Hannah, her buddy Ollie the Oxpecker and little Ava discover the biodiversity of the Ewaso Nyiro River in central Kenya, the challenges this precious land is experiencing and why we all need to pitch in and help when we see something or someone needs a helping hand.

 

Our environment. My Responsibility.
