Thandiwe Chama from Lusaka, Zambia
The International Children’s Peace Prize Award Ceremony 2007 was broadcasted in Holland on the NOS news, the RTL news and the “Jeugdjournaal” (children’s news). The international press has also done a report on the ceremony and the extraordinary winner. Thanks to BBC World Service, the German ZDF, Reuters and many other international news reports, Thandiwe has become hot news! 
The Zambian National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) was at the airport when Thandiwe arrived in Zambia. She has given radio interviews, has been on the cover of all the Zambian newspapers and visited with the Sport, Youth and Child Development Deputy Minister Ms. Angela Chifire, who has promised to provide more land in order to build more classrooms. Thandiwe was invited by UNICEF to represent Zambia during the youth forum “SPEAK AFRICA” in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The forum will be made into a documentary and broadcast all over Africa.
The International Children’s Peace Prize has enabled Thandiwe to put the right of education for all children on the agenda again and thus move the world. Portrait Thandiwe BBC World Outlook, 27 december 2007 BBC World Outlook, 18 januari 2007 |
