1MILLIONHOME crew films reintegrated CRC children and families

CRC Program Manager David Musa served as translator for a family interviewed by film makers from 1MILLIONHOME.

Filmmakers from 1MILLIONHOME recently visited Sierra Leone to interview and film families who have gone through the process of reuniting with their children who were previously in residential care. Helping Children Worldwide and 1MILLIONHOME are collaborating to create videos, print resources, and workshops to train child-focused organizations on how to move away from institutional care and towards family care for all children.   

"There were some really hard stories, and I personally learned so much more about the challenges of on-going family care in the midst of extreme poverty," filmmaker Leigh Sarti said about the filming process.   CRC Program Manager David Musa and other staff accompanied the crew on all home visits, serving as interpreters for the children and families.
