KLIK! supports the Mopti Foundation
Mopti is a city in the West-African country of Mali, near the border of the Sahara. The Dutchman Willem Snapper left for this wondrous region two years ago and started the Mopti Foundation, with the goal of bringing relief and aid to the local population. Willem does this by growing gardens and installing irrigation systems so fruits and vegetables can be grown for own consumption and commercial purposes.
Willem also screens a film in his own back yard every week, attracting up to three hundred visitors at a time. As there is no cinema to be found for hundreds of kilometers around, that’s a unique event in its own right. That’s why KLIK! has compiled a special programme for the Mopti Foundation, to be judged by a jury of local dignitaries. The winner will receive the first KLIK! Mopti Award.
The jury of the KLIK! Mopti Award consists of (left to right)Baba Traoré: Social entrepreneur, Gogo Bathily: Wife to the mayor of Mopti, Christian Douyon: Health care professional in Sévaré and Willem Snapper: “Just doing my part…”
KLIK! will raise money for the Mopti Foundation during festival in a variety of unexpected and interactive ways.
See www.mopti.eu for more information on the Mopti Foundation.
