Description

Action Against Hunger is looking for volunteers to host a screening of an hour-long documentary "Heart of the Congo," which features our organization. The documentary, created by Tom Weidinger, captures the efforts of Action Against Hunger's aid workers deep in the Congo. In a country ravaged by years of civil war, there is little hope, constant suffering and daily obstacles. Congolese and European staff run health clinics, nurse children suffering from acute malnutrition and work with locals to drill wells for safe drinking water. In the midst of violence, corruption, illness and despair, the men and women of Action Against Hunger courageously persevere in the mission to improve the lives of the people in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

You will host a screening of the movie. For more information on how to start, please contact Barbara McKinnon, Events & Grants Officer, by email at bmckinnon@actionagainsthunger.org or by phone at (212) 967-7800 ext 121.

 
Cost Details
If you would like to host a film screening, Action Against Hunger will provide the film free of charge. There may be costs associated with the event, such as renting a screening space, purchasing refreshments or printing flyers and posters. Action Against Hunger has an Organizational Packet designed to provide ideas for sponsorship and other support to minimize the costs for the screening hosts. Please download the packet from our website or email us to request a copy.
