Your organization is a great gift to all of us mothers ( and fathers too) who have been deeply concerned about the Earth’s children. As a grandmother, and artist I am using art, film, poetry to further the cause under the banner of the ten rights of the child (declared by the UN General Assembly)/ There is a book and film, both called CATCH A DREAMER which are poetic, moving, colorful, depictions of these rights.
The film shows the deprivations and suffering of many children, but also shows the efforts of some courageous youth to create change. Their success is heartwarming and encouraging. Our stated purpose is to bring to our audiences a sense of empowerment, to overcome despair, and to know that each of us can make a difference in many ways. When you go to the web sites I believe you will agree that both our groups are related . http://www.newearthsongs.org and dovetailpublications.org.
We would like to talk with you to explore the possibilities.Can you direct us to the appropriate person to contact?
