Inspire Me! Africa Film Premiere Fundaraiser

Denver

Friday, December 14, 2012

Set within the context of America’s struggling education system, Inspire Me Africa is a story about who teachers are, who they want to be, and how their extraordinary experiences can inspire students. It is a powerful call to action for us all to reconsider the profession of teaching.

100% money raised at the premier will benefit:

• The Emusoi School for teenage girls to become educated and realize their potential and self worth, rather than enter into early marriage. Emusoi empowers girls, develops their skills for themselves and to be change makers within their community.

• St. Timothy’s School project in Moshi to build water filtration and electrical systems, and a nursery school on the compound so the youngest children can have an opportunity for education as well.

• Shalom Orphanage in Karatu, a self-sustaining farm-based orphanage founded in 2004 now shelters over 60 children. Its mission is relief advocacy and improvement of the lives of dis- advantaged children regardless of religion, tribe or ethnicity.

• A Denver hub for Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots initiative so that Colorado students can connect with a global service learning effort towards the welfare of human communities, animals, and the environment. This hub will train teachers in service learning and support their engagement with schools in Africa as well as within their own communities.

Roots and Shoots is an international organization, empowering teachers and students all over the world to act locally on behalf of animal rights, human rights, and environmental conservation. In short, teaching students HOW they can make a difference, and giving them the tools to do so. The Inspire Me Africa teachers will work with Roots and Shoots as a powerful partner in bringing their experiences back to students in a meaningful way, and contributing the international Roots and Shoots efforts worldwide.

In this day and age, where the world community must come together as never before to deal with the looming issues of our time, and when science education, sorely needed to face these issues, is struggling for the hearts and minds of young people, it is imperative that we encourage and empower science teachers to guide the next generation to a better understanding of the world.
