Soldier Kids Poster Awards

Soldier Kids Poster Awards took place this morning in José de Saramago Cultural Center in Leganés. I'm sorry 1ºB and 1ºCD advanced and intermediate couldn't come. The Auditorium was completely full of students and only two groups of each High School could attend. You will agree with me that they had to be the ones of the winners.

Schedule:

• Students Awards.

• MSF (médicos sin fronteras) Presentation. Médicos sin fronteras de España.

• "Invisibles" 2007, a Spanish documentary produced by Javier Bardem (Goya 2007, the best documentary). It has 5 parts. We have seen the one which has been directed by Fernando León. It's just fantastic. It tells us about the drama of several thousand of children of the northern parts of Uganda. These children walk every night before the night falls to avoid being kidnapped by soldiers. Fernando Leon films, not avoiding the beautiful scenery of Uganda, many of the children and their stories and also those who take care of the shelters where "the night commuters" ("los viajeros de la noche") go looking for protection every night.
  
  
  For those who couldn't come, you can watch the video here. The documentary directed by Fernando León, about soldier kids, begins at 00:38:25 in the video and finishes at 01:05:10.
  
• Presentation about soldier kids.
• Visit to the posters exhibition.

We will have all your posters exhibited in our High School very soon, but you will have to help me.
And... you did it:

Próximo 12 de febrero: Día Internacional contra el uso de menores como soldados.
No estamos sólos, muchos estamos haciéndonos eco de este grave problema. Aquí os dejo el enlace a otro blog de educación de Sevilla tratando el mismo tema, centrándose en el Chad: Menores soldado en el Chad.

Y otro en el blog del IES Gran Capitán (¡Chic@s, estamos en Twitter!). Y en Lápices para la Paz. Y en Pasitos cortos. Y en Griseldaimas. Y en Por los derechos de todo ser indefenso. Y tantos más.
