Had the fantastic opportunity to attend a screening about street childern in South Africa put on by USF’s Umthombo Club
“With the former street children behind the camera, director Billy Raftery’s Children Rise provides an authentic and intimate look into the lives of Durban’s street children. In search of a better life, these kids find only a world of prostitution, drug addiction and extreme violence.”
Check out the website and trailer here.
It is great to be in an environment where people have a concern for causes that are hard to relate to themselves and especially coming from such a rich country like the United States. I have to say that this is one of the reasons that I love college and the University of San Francisco. While your at it join Umthombo’s Facebook group so you can get the updates.
