Cinema for Poor Neighborhood

Ecuador

Our team organized a movie night for kids from the por neighborhood of Abdón Calderón, Ecuador.

With a personal choice of movies, snacks, drinks and matching decoration, they created an authentic movie theater atmosphere. Most of the children have probably never been to a movie theater, as their families do not have the money for it. This makes such events special highlights for them. 

At the same time, events like this show the children that they are valuable and accepted. It may not look like it to the outside world, but the children notice the investment that the team puts into the workshops and events like this. They are not used to having the full attention of adults doing something to make them happy.
