CHARLES OTIENO, Country Manager, FilmAid International, Kenya has generously given his time and advice and worked with Hot Sun Foundation on the outdoor Kibera Film Nights.

Getting involved with Kibera and Hot Sun will help demonstrate the idea that communities like those in Kibera can collectively rise out of poverty by creating platforms to share ideas and innovate. Films can provide that platform.

MARGO SMITH , filmmaker, Off Center Video, Berkeley California, USA gave her time, expertise and studio to author the CHARCOAL TRAFFIC DVD as well as host a fundraising houseparty and send out materials to film festivals.

I relish the idea of encouraging making films in far off places like Somalia and Kenya, with Hot Sun Foundation putting filmmaking in the hands of local people. These films give us the chance to see life as we don't know it and cannot imagine it.
