SVQF Presents “Salabwek: Not Far From Here” Film Screening at Guild Hall July 27, 2010

SVQF presents a film screening of “Salabwek: Not Far From Here” at Guild Hall on Tuesday, July 27, from 5 to 7 p.m. The film highlights SVQF’s sustainable community development project in the rural village of Salabwek in Kenya’s Masai Mara, where SVQF has provided schools, health care, safe water and sanitation, and income-generating training and workshops for women.

The sustainable community development project provided life’s essential needs to a village living in extreme poverty at a cost of only $50 per inhabitant. The purpose of this event is to raise funds to replicate this successful project in a neighboring community. The world is growing increasingly smaller, and it is only fitting that Salabwek means “not far from here.”

The event will include a continuous screening of the short film with a simultaneous reception including wine and cheese in an adjoining courtyard (weather permitting). There is a suggested donation of $25 for the evening.

SVQF would also like to recognize its partners, Free The Children and Students of the World, for helping to make this documentary possible. Special thanks go to Bruce Charash, Founder & Chairman of Doc to Dock; Darlene Daggett, who serves on the Board of Advisors of SVQF; and above all the Salabwek community itself for participating in the film.
