This past week, I showed Jungle Book at Ecole Maternelle. The preschool’s Director—Sr. Ginetta—recently purchased their first DVD player.
As I wrote to my seven-year-old little brother, Landan, it was the first time for most of these children to see a television set, let alone watch movie made especially for kids. I spent most of the time laughing because there was no point in trying to explain the story line to them, they could barely sit down, let alone be quiet: as Mowgli met Bagheera, Baloo, King Louie, and the Elephants, their excitement was so great!
We have already several Disney/Pixar films, but if you are interested in helping us build our movie collection, which will be used at the school & cinema, you can send DVDs to:
Katie Hile
St. Josephs Canossians
P.O. Box 218
Arua, Uganda
Our Wish List: The Lion King, the Princess Frog, Pocahontas, etc...
Please be sure that the DVDs include the French Audio Option. If you wish to send items, write me an email so that we don’t receive duplicates: kate12984@gmail.com
Plus I may also have a few more great ideas for inexpensive, lightweight, & easy to mail items for the kids & Youth Center :)
p.s. We are in the process of acquiring a variety of health & educational films in French, though preferably Lingala or Lugbara; as many from the surrounding villages who will benefit from the videos, speak only local languages. Any donations that we receive will be used to purchase these videos.
