A generous anonymous donor has pledged to give up to $5,000 in matching funds to raise much needed support for our Voices of Children documentary. The Voices of Children documentary is an in-depth exploration of how to engage with children in a true give-and-take dialog about how they experience their rights to participation, provision and protection. The project team has already filmed in Brazil, Singapore, India, Colorado, USA, and Kenya, and has collected additional footage from other international contributors. Funding is now needed to review and compile the footage for initial screening at World Forum 2017 in Auckland this May. Contribute to this ground-breaking project today!
