The Haiti Kids Kino Project is going back to Haiti for a second trip…

On October 18th three Cube volunteers will be flying out to do four weeks of outdoor cinema and video workshops with children displaced by the 2010 earthquake.

This time the team will be going to Jacmel, a town on the south coast, where we’ll be showing a selection of the best international children’s films in tent cities; and at the workshops children will be able to learn how to make short animations and videos.

Its been 15 months since the first HKKP trip to Haiti (you can see a video about that trip here).  During that time a lot of fundraising events have taken place in and around Bristol and we’d like to say a big Thank You to everyone whose contributed.  The second trip was originally scheduled for the beginning of this year, but due to the outbreak of Cholera and general unrest around the time of the election, it was postponed.  Sadly some of the people who put in loads of work for that postponed trip aren’t able to come this time due to work and life commitments – we’d like to say a huge thank you to them for all the effort they put in.

We’ll be posting  blog entries, photos and videos during the next weeks…
