Our half hour documentary on Kenya special airs tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday on BBC World television. 

The project got its start by asking Kenyans what they wanted to tell the world.

If you're in North America, here are the listings.

#KOT (Kenyans on Twitter) have raised over $60,000 (£38,000) for a brain tumour patient in two days.

The target was $10,000.

The patient Emmanuel, external directly messaged a popular blogger Bikozulu, external on Twitter. He, in turn, published Emmanuel's story, external.

An M-Pesa account, through which money can be transferred via mobile phones, was set up, people tweeted the word out with the hashtag #1MilliForJadudi, external and in two days Kenyans raised six times the amount of money Emmanuel needed for brain surgery.

Our team filmed a story about Kenyans on Twitter in Nairobi two weeks ago. That video is posted below.

Our recent trip to a rural Kenyan village to shoot the film embedded above was rather risky – not in terms of security but rather time.

We shot this story last Wednesday, a week ago today, when we were wrapping up our entire trip to East Africa. 

We received several story suggestions from viewers during our stay in Kenya, asking us to film a piece about village life in the country.

One of our drivers saw these suggestions posted on a whiteboard in the BBC's Nairobi bureau and asked if we'd like to journey three hours west towards Kenya's border with Uganda to speak to his brother's mother-in-law, "who lived on a small farm in a Kenyan village near the Rift Valley".

We were exhausted and had just filmed a tour of Nairobi short only one day earlier. In fact, we finished the tour of Nairobi shoot around 8pm, ingested it that night and woke at 6am the following morning to head to the village Nyiakiambi.

Though five of us travelled there, Peter (the driver) and I were the only ones working on the story. Silhouettes of the others, who included employees form BBC Media Action as well as our fixer, can actually be seen in the first few seconds of the village life video above. 

Once there, I filmed and asked questions. Peter translated.

It didn't take long for me to realise how beautiful the shoot was going to be. The location was stunning and the interviewees were full of laughter and smiles. This set-up isn't typically the case. The characters this time around were laid back because of their connection to Peter.

And in my opinion, this casualness made the video. 

Our team's half-hour documentary on our trip to Kenya will air this weekend on BBC World.

Sometimes in Kenya, you just have to stop the shoot and play hopscotch.

Still not entirely sure what game our producer Peter thought we were playing though...

Elephants, dance club buses and street market madness, we've created an insider's guide to Nairobi.

Our producer Michael Kaloki (the only one of us actually born in Nairobi) takes us through the streets and up the skyscrapers to learn what this bustling metropolis has to offer.

"Why exactly are you in Kenya?"

Our team was on the Kenyan morning programme Power Breakfast on Citizen TV alongside cardboard cutouts of the Obama family.

I'm leaving Nairobi today and am headed back to New York City, via Dubai.

Christian Parkinson, external, Pop Up's other video guru and other journalist this month, is already back in his home of South Africa getting some much needed rest.

It's been a wild three-week journey. Our team collected nearly 150 story ideas from both the Kenyan diaspora and the community here on the ground. Of those 150 story ideas, we filmed nearly ten of them while in Kenya.

We held community meet-ups, documented the diversity of language within the country, investigated the powerhouse group Kenyans on Twitter, looked at illicit brew, met a Kenyan country musician, sent US President Obama some slang language tips and created many more videos.

But now it's time to pack up. We still have two stories coming next week and a full half-hour documentary next weekend on BBC World television. So stay tuned. There's much more in the pipeline.

Looking ahead, does anyone want to guess where we're going next?

Coming mid-September.

"At one point, an older woman who had been quietly listening spoke up. She talked about her cousin who she described as “an extremist” affiliated to Al-Shabaab (an Islamic militant organisation based in Somalia) and what it felt like to have him in the family."

Our friends at BBC Media Action gathered powerful testimonies about media and radicalism in Kenya as part of our community meeting two weeks ago.

Authorities in Kenya are cracking down on illicitly brewed alcohol following a recent spate of deaths. 

The drink is also being blamed on marital trouble, resulting in some men having their private parts cut off. 

BBC Pop Up's Christian Parkinson journeyed around Kenya to get the full story.

With only days to go in Kenya, I was given a tour of Nairobi by our producer Michael Kaloki. For more than eight hours we hiked, walked and rolled around this diverse city, seeing some of his favourite sites.

The premise of the journey was to challenge Michael to find four locations or experiences that he felt embodied the feel of the city.

He chose a matatu ride, Wakulima Market, a walk around the business district and a trip to an elephant orphanage in the city's national park.

Today, we’re adventuring in the Rift Valley for a story on what life is like in a rural Kenyan village. It’s still morning here but already I can feel it's going to be a great shoot. The fog has been very dense and writing this post was interrupted by a dazzle of zebras walking next to our van. 

It's only 10:00am. More soon.
