Standing up for Albinism sufferers in Namibia
Sinasra and children's choir recorded a song to raise awareness of Albinism in Namibia.
Support in Namibia of Albinism Sufferers Requiring Assistance (Sinasra) has been hard at work to raise awareness and understanding people with albinism.
Recently the organisation recorded that raises awareness of albinism in Namibia.
The new song and video will be released soon to spread the message of hope to all corners of Namibia. Toon Sanders, a representative of Sinasra said the song is about highlighting the challenges faced by people with albinism and encourage acceptance throughout the 14 regions of Namibia. “Having all these people and organisations involved as well as the children's choir really fills me with hope and joy and shows what a big heart Namibians have.” said Sanders.
The children of the Michelle McLean Primary School choir recorded the song together with renowned African artist Dolar Yves. Nationwide awareness campaigns exposing the plight of persons with albinism will be created through the collaboration of many people working together with a children's choir to compose the song and the video.
Yves together with Chris Winsemius of Sesame Street wrote the beautiful song and a chorus was done by children from the Michelle McLean Primary School in Windhoek. Other people involved in this project are; Helvi Wheeler, who assisted the choir and former Miss Universe, Michelle McLean-Bailey who did the introduction to the video. According to Sanders, all the people involved in the project selflessly gave their time, talent and resources to make the song and music video a reality. The song was recorded at NBC Radio and Caleb Cindano directed the video.
The children's singing, hard work and recording of the song was rewarded by lunch at Nyama Restaurant courtesy of the restaurant, which added an extra fun and tummy-filling dimension for the kids involved. Sanders said that Sinasra, as an organisation is grateful to Nyama Restaurant for facilitating and opening up the restaurant to the children. The song and video will be launched soon and it is expected to have a positive impact that will resonate with many people throughout Namibia.
Sinasra is a Namibian welfare organisation, registered with the Ministry of Health and Social Services. It started as a Rotary project and has developed into an independent entity. The principles and objectives of Rotary, however, became firmly inculcated into the organisation. With Rotary's continued support and expertise ensured, it is feasible to strive towards a better future and generally improved living conditions for persons with albinism in Namibia. Albinism is a condition that is manageable provided funds are available to meet their continuous needs. Your donations and assistance are therefore greatly appreciated.
