E-LEARNING FOR KIDS
by Nanno Jiskoot
Last week we flew to Capetown where we shot a commercial in the townships for E-learning for Kids (EFK), a foundation that offers free education to all children between five and twelve from all over the world at www.e-learningforkids.org. How cool is that! The e-learning prevents children from dropping out of school, getting into violence, crime and living their lives on the streets. Now 7.5 million children are using the online lessons to learn how to read and write, do maths and science but they want to grow to 20 million users in the coming four years.
E-learning for Kids work together with partners as War Child and Amy Bhiel Foundation who, for example, provide laptops. Filming on the spot was such a cool experience. With a guide and two guards we managed to get very close to the raw lives of these children in these townships. At the moment we are in post production but have a fist look of the analogue pictures I took from our trip. More to come!

After the viral that we created for MDLI in 2009 (1.4 million hits in four days and viral of the month in Bright Magazine), we recently created a testimonial for fund raising. MDLI offers a leadership training for Dutch students with a Morrocan background and a training for children with a Morrocan background to improve their grades on the Cito test. Video coming soon.

Southend
by Nanno Jiskoot
Last week I was in Southend, England, to do some research on a new documentary. A kind of urban greyish place. But every weekend, when the sun shines and Adventure Island (a small fun park) starts moving, Southend opens like a colorful flower. Just for a few hours. When it closes, it all turns dark again, like it never happend. It’s magical.
