Script
Diana :
Thank you for speaking with Glory Magazine, Mr. Kéré.
Kéré :
My pleasure.
Diana :
What made you have an interest in education?
Kéré :
As I am an architect, I wanted to build a school for people.
Diana :
Then, why did you construct a school rather than something else?
Kéré :
When I was young, I had to study in an overcrowded and overheated classroom. Since that time, I’ve wanted to construct a proper school in my community.
Diana :
You studied abroad, then why did you come back rather than stay where you studied?
Kéré :
People said it would have been enjoyable to stay there, but I never forget the commitment my people made to me. Without them, I could not have dreamed of being an architect.
Diana :
It sounds like your community is quite important to you.
Kéré :
Absolutely. That’s why I am here. I built Gando Primary School with the people, and it has provided opportunities for education and vocational training for people.
Diana :
That’s wonderful! That’s how you could change your community. That’s all for today. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us.
