Empowering South Africa's youth
Fadi Hanna, Stephen Brown, Ksenia Koban, Chris Clark, Romy Drucker, Sam Anderson, Jonathan Rousse, Sandi Mnkandla, Erica Waples, Rossie Turman, Adrian Hong and Julie Hussain invite you to an evening benefiting Amandla Development's work in South Africa. We will also debut the short film Connecting Dots. A preview is featured above.
Amandla Development brings together community actors from across sectors to provide a strong network of support both in and out of school. Many of South Africa’s youth face enormous challenges to succeeding both from the substandard education they receive in schools to the broken communities in which they spend the majority of their days outside of school. Supporting their education also means making sure they get enough to eat, are supported at home, have access to adequate medical care, that they aren’t bullied at school, and that their creativity is nourished. No organisation can do this alone. Amandla helps coordinate and amplify the impacts of the many actors whose work provides the web of care needed. We simply can’t fix the education crisis without acknowledging the context of poverty.
Join us on Thursday, October 13th at 6 pm to celebrate Amandla's progress and to see the short film Connecting Dots about how disparate actors are coming together to collaborate and provide holistic solutions to South Africa’s education crisis.
