The ISAR Video "Our Children Are Not
Alone", won a Gold Award from Aurora Awards. The video presents a
biblically based plea for the Church to actively respond to the
needs of the many children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS.
This Gold Award is given to only the top 20% of videos submitted
for consideration. According to their website
(www.auroraawards.com), Aurora Awards is "An Independent Film and
Video Competition for Commercials, Cable programming,
Documentaries, Industrial, Instructional and Corporate
Videos."
The Video was a joint project, funded by World Relief which has
its continental AIDS headquarters on the NEGST Campus. The film
was mostly shot in Rwanda, its place of first use, and is
translated into Kinyarwanda and Kirundi. It will be used in
conjunction with a training curriculum for orphan and vulnerable
child care program leaders, and is intended to be an
awareness-raising film that is very useful for church viewing
since it is only 10 minutes long. A good use of the film is to
follow the showing with a discussion time, but it can simply be
shown by itself.
The DVDs for "Living Hope" and "Our Children Are Not Alone" are available. (limited stock) You can order at the ISAR Productions Video Office either by visiting the office at the NEGST Campus or by email at ISAR@negst.edu. The cost of a DVD or VHS is KShs. 600 per unit. (USD $10)
Dr. Dortzbach passes his praise firstly to God, then to everyone
in Kenya and Rwanda who helped contribute to this project! He
said that it indicated a global recognition of the efforts at
ISAR productions.
Mr. Sammy Gatere, the new video editor, is now working on an AIDS
behavior change video for Sudan, to be released in three
languages. These films bring the total number of productions to
24 educational films for the church. All are available in VHS or
DVD format.
