Happy Christmas
A very happy Christmas from all of us here at WebsEdge.
Being our first Christmas as WebsEdge we’ve decided to do something a bit diferent. Instead of sending out the usual gifts to all our friends we’re supporting Isibindi projects in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. As many of you will know Isibindi is Zulu for courage. Isibindi’s are partnerships between the local church and the National Association of Child Care Workers to create circles of care for children affected by HIV/AIDS and poverty. Three such projects are now in operation in the villages of Illinge, Ezebeleni and Alice. Each project has a small building and safe park where children can play freely, receive support, learn, receive understanding and care.
So this year we’re donating money to buy playground equipment for the children of Alice. As producers of global health tv we feel this is particularly appropriate for us and hope to build further links as time goes on. Indeed, we even hope to film some of our programmes there later in the year. I’ll be posting updates of how we get on here on the blog so stay tuned!
The revolution we’re all currently witnessing in television production and disemination is certainly making the world a smaller place. We can all access information that interests us from all round the world whenever we want it. At WebsEdge we also think that places a responsibility on us to do whatever we can to help where help’s needed.
Happy Christmas!
