Nicolas Mignanwande was a little boy attending a UNICEF school in his small village of Ganvie, in Benin, when Denis Hargrave arrived in the village to shoot a documentary. The film focused on the challenges of growing up in Ganvie, and the hope and opportunity that the UNICEF school provided. In this video, watched what Denis learned about young Nicolas about forty five years later, through a series of remarkable coincidences... Nicolas graduated from that same UNICEF school and went on to become a teacher and then Supervisor of Education for his district. Nicolas' older brother, Hubert, also a graduate from the UNICEF school, received his PhD in Psychology from the Sorbonne. Today Nicolas' youngest boy, Ponce, is in medical school and studying to become a doctor.
