Screening of One Childhood in Washington D.C was very successful.

 

The Eritrea Cultural and Civic Center in Washington DC, with the Assistance of
the Embassy of Eritrea hosted an afternoon and evening screening of One
Childhood on Saturday Feb 28th. There were around 100 young people from the
youth team for the afternoon screening, and some 150 in the evening.  The Plans
are being made by the Eritrea civil society groups to hold similar events with
their related groups elsewhere in the US.

This is a classic example of how the Eritrean Govt. in partnership (PARTNERSHIP) with the world bank worked hard to make sure that the child care development program was a success.

Rarely do we come across a video that is visually beautiful, intellectually stimulating and emotionally inspiring.  “One childhood” is a documentary about how schools and schoolteachers in Eritrea are part of the campaign to improve children’s health.  Based on the actual findings of two thorough technical evaluations that showed the wide coverage and effectiveness of the Eritrea programs, the film tells the story of how school health is now being delivered in the mountains of Eritrea, in the arid lands of the Red Sea coast and in urban Asmara.  Available onYouTube, where it has been seen by 14,000 people in a month—probably 13,980 more than read the two technical reports—the film has won the CINE Golden Eagle award.  It can also be viewed here.
