Mission in Nigeria

Missão Pequeninos na Nigéria. .

O videomaker Thiago Garcia e o surfista Jojó de Olivença embarcaram como voluntários para a Nigéria onde se uniram a uma ONG inglesa, cuja missão é cuidar de crianças que estão sendo maltratadas no país.

O objetivo principal é conseguir um abrigo com estrutura de educação e esportes para atender essas crianças. Os voluntários brasileiros levaram roupas, pranchas e uma enorme vontade de implantar uma escolinha no local para que através do surfe todo esse sofrimento seja amenizado.




Saving Africa's Witch Children (Nigeria)

. Documentary about Children in Nigeria

In some of the poorest parts of Nigeria, where evangelical religious fervour is combined with a belief in sorcery and black magic, many thousands of children are being blamed for catastrophes, death and famine: and branded witches. Denounced as Satan made flesh by powerful pastors and prophetesses, these children are abandoned, tortured, starved and murdered: all in the name of Jesus Christ.


This Dispatches special follows the work of one Englishman, Gary Foxcroft, who has devoted his life to helping these desperate and vulnerable children. Gary's charity, Stepping Stones Nigeria, raises funds to help Sam Itauma who, five years ago, rescued four children accused of witchcraft. He now struggles to care for over 150 in a makeshift shelter and school called CRARN (Child Rights and Rehabilitation Network).
