Episode 2

Second of a three-part documentary series on 23-year-old Glasgow student and humanitarian Gemma Steele. In this programme, Gemma relives the 2012 break-in at St Jerome's.

An dàrna pàirt de sreath de thrì phàirtean - sealladh togarrach mun bhoireannach òg dhaonnachdail, Gemma Steele. Tha Gemma ag ath-innse mar a bhris buidheann de mhèirlich le machetes a-steach gu St Jerome's - an taigh dhìlleachdan a stèidhich i ann an Kenya . Ghoid iad dad a bha luachmhor agus tòrr airgid.

B' e tachartas a bha seo a dh' atharraich tòrr, agus le tabhartas airgid a' taomadh a-steach, gu sònraichte an toiseach bho a h-eilean àraich, Uibhist a Deas, cho-dhùin Gemma taigh dhìlleachdan ùr agus nas motha a thogail ann an àite nas sàbhailte. Leanaidh sinn Gemma agus an togail aig ìre gu math adhartach.

In the second of a three-part series profiling young humanitarian Gemma Steele, Gemma relives the break-in in 2012 by a machete gang at St Jerome's - the orphanage she set up in Kenya. The gang robbed them of all money and valuables.

This proved to be a catalyst for change, and with donations of help flooding in, in particular initially from her home island of South Uist, Gemma decided to build a new and bigger orphanage in a safer area. We follow her with the new build well underway.
