00:00:03.297 --> 00:00:05.759
My name is Ector Diogenes Cassamá

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:08.308
I am the coordinator of the Cultural Group Netos de Bandim

00:00:08.308 --> 00:00:16.509
which is AMIC's partner in this project Eyes and Voices of the Youth of Bandim and Enterramento

00:00:16.509 --> 00:00:19.760
Currently, I am also the coordinator of the project

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:27.528
and our project has the goal to train the youth in communication using the internet

00:00:27.528 --> 00:00:36.737
Currently, we have already provided training to the youth in the technical area and information collection for the community

00:00:36.737 --> 00:00:43.096
and also we have provided training in the use of digital cameras

00:00:43.096 --> 00:00:48.949
the second phase is for the youth to go out into the community and take photos of daily life

00:00:48.949 --> 00:00:53.429
related to some problem that they may identify in the community, we are going to organize

00:00:53.429 --> 00:00:57.357
a generation gathering of elderly, youth, and children of the neighborhood

00:00:57.357 --> 00:01:03.298
to discuss these problems and all of these will be recorded

00:01:03.298 --> 00:01:08.569
and published on our blogs, which are already created

00:01:08.569 --> 00:01:14.708
with the name "Bairro Bandim" (Neighborhood Bandim) and also the blog of Enterramento

00:01:14.708 --> 00:01:16.765
"Bairro Enterramento" (Neighborhood Enterramento)

00:01:16.765 --> 00:01:25.658
Anyway, what we are doing is to make known the importance and the richness of Guinea-Bissau

00:01:25.658 --> 00:01:29.861
and the positive aspects of the neighborhoods where the project is taking place.

00:01:29.861 --> 00:01:34.900
In those neighborhoods, the group Netos de Bandim is already implementing the project

00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:38.765
and in the neighborhood of Enterramento, the cultural group Enterramento Unido

00:01:38.765 --> 00:01:41.796
is responsible for implementing the project.

00:01:41.796 --> 00:01:48.646
And this project, as I was saying, AMIC (Association of the Friends of Children) is the partner.

00:01:48.646 --> 00:01:51.293
For the country, it is something new

00:01:51.293 --> 00:01:58.652
and the youth and children are not used to communicating via internet

00:01:58.652 --> 00:02:04.324
This project will innovate and help the community to be able to communicate

00:02:04.324 --> 00:02:07.227
with the outside world.
