Collecting School, Office and Building Supplies to send a 40 Foot Container to Wartorn Sierra Leone

We present the example of the action of award-winning ten-year-old film-maker Logan MacGillivray, who is making a documentary on connections between youth in Canada and in Sierra Leone. Transformation of attitudes and action was evident when several audience members stated they would get involve by taking action within their schools, communities and organizations.

Logan MacGillivray has been working with CDPeace and Peaceful Schools International (PSI) in collaboration with the ViewFinders International Film Festival for Youth to seek donations of items and money to help with the construction of schools and the cdpeace centre for the education of young people in seven northern communities in Sierra Leone.  A donation box was set up at the Empire 17 Cinemas in Bayers Lake, Halifax during the ViewFinders Film Festival to collect these much needed supplies, which were sent over by a shipping container to Sierra Leone.

Friday April 25 - ViewFinders Youth Film Festival Gala closing, Empire Theatre, Halifax, NS Participants - about 600 audience members (primarily youth) The focus of the talk was on presenting actions that youth can take to support their peers in Sierra Leone particularly in helping document and share stories.
