As a reminder of what we told you in the last report, We are avidly waiting for the lifitng of travel restrictions to send the SAWDUST film crew to Malawi. In the meantime, we are also working hard to continue raising funds for the project. We are at 27% of the funding goal of $25,000.
The objective of this project is to empower Jacques to tell his story. Jacques is a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo living in the Dazleka refugee camp in Malawi. He and his wife are raising 6 children and working very hard to give them a better future. Jacques is a distinguished graduate of carpentry vocational training by the nonprofit There is Hope. With these new skills, he started a shop and not only giving his family a better life but also help training other young refugee aprentices. Please watch this short video with more details of why is so important to create this documentary.
This is story will create awareness and support for vocational training at the Dzaleka camp, increasing the oportunities of many other refugees to become self-reliant.
