Open your eyes SCiMOZ.mp4

With all the excitement leading up to the South Africa World Cup 2010, it is easy to forget that such a major sporting even can lead to child trafficking and unsafe child migration. To help protect children during this time, and raise community awareness of the dangers, Save the Children in Mozambique has launched an advocacy campaign called "Open Your Eyes" with radio and television programs, interviews, posters and postcards that will reach 250,000 people. The former national team captain, Manuel "Tico Tico" Bucuane even volunteered his own time to appear in several advertisements to highlight the problem of child trafficking. Even though the World Cup will soon be over, Save the Children hopes that this advocacy will help protect vulnerable children long after the champions and fans return home.
