Yes, there are.
One thing I should note here is that Canada does send CIDA funds to Tanzania. I spoke with Canada's High Commissioner to Tanzania, Robert Orr, on my last trip there in April. Canada sends a large amount of CIDA funds to Tanzania, about $40 million if I'm not mistaken. It is one of the countries in Africa that does receive funding.
So I think we have influence we can exercise from that, because Tanzania is very dependent on these kinds of foreign aid contributions. This, in my opinion, is something that the Tanzanian government can be reminded of.
One concrete solution being put in place by Under the Same Sun, which is a Canadian NGO, as you know, is that we have produced a one-hour documentary film. In fact we employed Cité-Amérique, a company in Montreal, Quebec, to do this. They've worked with us and we've produced a one-hour documentary film about the killings in Tanzania and the discrimination that albinos face. It's a wonderful film. We just screened it in Vancouver on Saturday, and I would be happy to give each member of the committee a copy of the film. This film has been produced in English, French, and Kiswahili.
We are going to produce these films and distribute them across Tanzania in schools, government offices, and so on. Perhaps one partnership that CIDA could have with Under the Same Sun would be to assist in the production and distribution of these films in Tanzania, and perhaps partnering with us in educational programs.
Under the Same Sun has an office in Tanzania and we are involved in trying to educate the society, because once the society understands that people with albinism are human beings and are equal and are not ghosts and curses, then eventually the killings will stop.
