WORLDwrite has arranged an exceptional opportunity for community groups, schools, colleges and businesses to find out what last year’s G8 jamboree really delivered for our peers in the developing world.
Filmed in Ghana by a volunteer film crew WORLDwrite is touring a 28 minute documentary critically examining the impact of debt relief, with a speaker flown in from Ghana to answer questions. The tour will run from 18th October to 2nd December 2006.
Ghana was one of the countries with HIPC (Highly Indebted Poor Country) status whose debts were cancelled following the G8 meeting at Gleneagles in 2005. The film provides a compelling case study of the impact of debt relief and the little known ‘strings’ or conditions that were attached. The accompanying speaker De Roy Kwesi Andrew is a BA student in Ghana qualified teacher and researcher. The tour has been arranged by the UK education charity and NGO WORLDwrite in the run up to the 50th anniversary of Ghana’s independence from colonial rule, Ghana was the first Black African Country to win independence. |
