Trees on a Canvas Stephan McGuire will present his frstly directed documentary flm, Trees on a Canvas, which focuses on Namibia’s role in developing smart commercial partnerships and sustainable economic ventures based on natural resources. The documentary explores not only how this has come to be, but also the race against time to ensure continued research and benefts to Namibian society as these positive trends meet rampant climate change, severe environmental degradation and abject poverty. The flm is 26 minutes long; framed for television broadcast viewing in Southern Africa and was produced in partnership with Namibian Nature Foundation, Green Awareness Africa, Take Note and Interact’s Kit Hoffman, with funding provided by the United Nations FAO. You can review the 26 minutes film on either of these two sites:

Children of Our Villages Video 16 children (ages 6-18) wrote, acted in and produced the frst flm ever shot in their village. Their fifteen-minute flm, “*Ndapewa: I am Given*,” is about a young girl who runs to be the frst “Child President” of Namibia! Just in time for the real Namibian elections, the children have been invited to screen their flm at the US Embassy in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia!!! Their flm not only raises awareness for the needsof the children in Witvlei, but having others see their flm gives the young flmmakers a feeling of accomplishment, empowerment, and unity. Please, help us give these children a chance to share their story and make a difference in their own communities during a major election.
