For nearly a year now, a group of Dordt students led by Professor Mark Volkers have been working on a documentary about life in the slums of the Third World, where over one billion people now live. Filming for the Slum Documentary Film Project have taken these students to the Philippines, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Their final journey will take place this Christmas, when they travel to Kenya to document the lives of people living in Kibera, one of the largest slums in the world.
To raise money for this trip, these students will be showing some of their footage in a travelogue at the B. J. Haan Auditorium Saturday night. Admission for students is $3.50, $5.00 for adults. The travelogue starts at 7 PM. Come on out to support your fellow students!
