Dear Kabissa Friends,

Thank you so much for your responses to our call for Creative Content.  We have had interest from artists in many different countries.  We're really excited.

We also are moving forward with our fundraising and outreach efforts.  Don't worry, we are not asking for a donation!!!  However, we would appreciate 20-seconds of your time, not for our sake, but the number of creative communities at the local level that we are excited to bring into the development agenda for women's health.

Dear friends and artists,

I'm developing a new project in collaboration with various international agencies and artists that blends the creative world with the humanitarian world around the issue of women/motherhood/maternal health.

We have two new organisations this week. From Nigeria, the New Era Education and Charitiable Support supporting less privilaged children and youths, works across the country. From Kenya, Film Aid International, "that uses the power of film to address the needs of displaced people around the world". In East Africa they work with the following countries: Sudan, Burundi, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda.

Via Bill Minter of AfricaFocus.org (member profile), I received the following inquiry from a filmmaker in London looking to do an interesting documentary about slums in Lagos. I sent it on directly to members in Lagos and received quite a few responses. I also thought it might be worthwhile sharing it on the blog so that others can see it. Please get in touch with Cat at Keo Films directly if you have any useful information or insights, or are interested in getting involved in the project.
