ARTS EDUCATION CHARITY IN SIERRA LEONE
I commissioned this short film while volunteering for a small NGO, WAYout Arts, in Freetown, Sierra Leone in West Africa to raise much needed funds for the charity. WAYout supports homeless, conflict-affected and educationally disadvantaged street youth. Filmed by WAYout members, it features a local basket maker - Alpha Samura as he tries to support himself through his basket making.
If you enjoyed watching this film I'd be very grateful if you would give a donation (perhaps £5?) to WAYout Arts by clicking the link below. You will be taken to the secure PayPal website where you can make your donation by PayPal if you have an account or by Credit Card.
