Friends of Malawi: Gift Shop

Malawi Children's Village and Full Circle Studios have produced a movie written and performed by the children of MCV. JUMA'S STORY was written as a catalyst for discussion about HIV/AIDS and the effect it is having in villages across Malawi, and the result is a surprisingly original plot that showcases some very talented actors. The movie can be played in English and Chichewa, and the DVD includes some breathtaking photographs of the lakeshore, set to the village sounds we all know and love. This creative initiative is available Stateside to raise funding for MCV; contact Kevin Denny at KDenny0000@aol.com for more information.
