CFCO concludes theatre academy trainingTuesday, September 09, 2008
The Children For Children Organisation (CFCO), on Saturday, concluded a five-day summer children’s theatre academy training at St Thereses Upper Basic School in Kanifing.
Speaking at the opening ceremony on Tuesday, Ibrahim Ceesay, the coordinator of CFCO, said his organisation believes that the best way for children to advocate for their rights, is through theatre, genres and others. He said CFCO was formed in March 2005 to advocate for child rights, fight against poverty and other issues affecting children. According to Mr Ceesay, his organisation has travelled to many countries to attend many conferences where issues affecting children top their agenda. He said the CFCO also has capacity building programmes such as their weekly radio programmes on City Limits Radio, where children could explore their potentials. Mr Ceesay advised the participants to make the best use of the training. Csilla Jeng, the training instructor, also advised the children to take the training seriously. CFCO’s Gibou M Saidy chaired the opening ceremony. At the end of the five-day training, participants were awarded certificates. Author: by Assan Sallah
