The Lost Kids of Kalahari
I cannot teach a hungry child, a child who is cold, who lives in shacks and cannot sleep well at night because of the social evils around their homes. Theopaline Goliath, teacher
Gochas, Namibia. Flora and the Nama children struggle to make their own lives in a violent environment. Under continuous risk of abuse and deprivation, they quickly learn how to grow up and remain attached to their only hope, school.
MOST CHILDREN SUFFER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE NAMA DE GOCHAS COMMUNITY.
Namibia is considered one of the richest countries in Africa, yet behind an illusory image lies the highest rate of inequality in Africa. Alcohol abuse and a 15% AIDS rate – not included in tourist brochures – orphan 20% of the children, who live mainly in rural areas such as Gochas. In this village in the Harap region, Flora and other children of the Nama tribe constantly strive to make their own lives in a violent environment. Under continuous risk of abuse and deprivation, they quickly learn how to grow up and remain attached to their only hope, school.
This is their story.
The screening lasts 42 minutes and will be followed by time for discussion with the authors and participants.

Shoot 4 Change is a non-profit organization, founded by Antonio Amendola, formed by photographers, designers, artists and other dreamers (both professionals and amateurs) who share part of their time to make humanitarian reports for NGOs and other social organizations.
Shoot4Change started as a blog around two slogans (“Change the world with a click” and “Shoot locally, change globally”) and a new word (“Crowdphotography”) and quickly became an association, a movement, a collective group of photographers around the world, a new way of thinking about social photography, a new kind of online magazine and a HUB of best practices.
The associates promote ethics and sustainability in photography, use their cameras and writing tools to denounce unsustainable situations and help free of charge those organizations that do not have the means to publicize their social cause.
