24th/25th: CHILD AID FILM FESTIVAL @ META
Dear Friends and Art Lovers!Tonite, Thursday, 6PM, we will open the PEACE ART EXHIBITION with artworks
of over 200 Cambodian children - facilitated by Amanda Mithers (USA) and
Setareh Masoumbeiki (Iran).
On the weekend (FRI/SAT, 7PM) we cordially invite you to our CHILD AID FILM
FESTIVAL on the rooftop with a selection of short documentaries such as:
1. CHILD FORUM
by Benjamin Pederick (Australia)
In 2007 the Cambodian National Child and Youth Forum brought together young
people from accross the country to fight human trafficking. Made up of youth
leaders and those victimised by, or most vulnerable to being trafficked, the
forum is a remarkable example of the unarguable capacity of children and
young people to become agents of reform.
This short documentary records the 2 days of learning, organising and
developing recommendations for government and civil society. Assumptions
about the value of a child's opinion, and the contrast between stereotypes
of children and the reality of trafficking combine in the young wisdom and
passion of a group of children learning how to change their world for the
better.
Produced for World Vision, Save the Children Australia, CNCC, ILO IPEC,
UNIAP by DDKfim
2. CAMBODIA CHILD SURVIVAL INITIATIVE PROJECT
by Christoph Waskow (Germany)
Cambodia has one of the highest child and infant mortality rates in the
world. This film commissioned by the World Health Organization and the
European Commission shows how the Ministry of Health implements this project
in Kompong Chhnang and Stung Treng province for the children of Cambodia.
3. BUILD CAMBODIA
by Lach Chantha (Cambodia)
In 1997, Andrew Morris, the head of the Cambodian Health Services of the
United Nations Children's Fund, said that for Cambodia, "Hope is for the
unborn." Six years later, many of Cambodia's unborn have arrived and so has
hope. In a country that not long ago was almost completely devoid of human
capital, education is one of the top priorities. Even in the countryside,
families go to great lengths to make it possible for girls like these to
attend school.
With the goal of fueling this hope, the Build Cambodia
Organization is founded on the principle of building human capital in
Cambodia by supporting healthcare, education, and the rule of law.
THERE WILL BE MORE TO SEE... PLEASE BE OUR GUESTS,
KIND REGARDS, Nico Mesterharm
