Arthur Pratt and WeOwnTV

http://www.weowntv.org
Arthur Pratt is drama teacher, youth organizer and pastor living in Freetown, Sierra Leone. He has written over a dozen scripts for stage and film and has toured throughout his country performing original productions as well as Krio translations of Shakespeare. He has actively involved Freetowns street kids in drama programs to help them find direction in their life and to celebrate their talents.

We traveled to Sierra Leone in January/Febuary 2009 on a scouting trip for a community based media workshop we have planned for August/September this year. We are collaborating with Arthur Pratt who works with street kids in the capital city, Freetown. We will be training a group of Sierra Leonean young adults in film/video and storytelling. WeOwnTV has engaged a wide range of participants from young media professionals and students, to ex-combatant, street kids and child prostitutes. The program involves a community-engaged curriculum in which project participants will collaboratively create and produce their own independent media.

music: Sorie Kondi. Please support this incredibly talented Sierra Leonean Folk musician. here is a link to his personal website: http://www.audicaentertainment.com/soriekondi/index.php

Why don't you put a paypal link for donations on your page? Give an explanation to where the money would go. I would donate to help build a school or support a mother and child with no home.... I want to share~
