English Description
While in the Western World a kid chewing on his pencil means fidgeting, we have used the same visual to symbolize the fact that basic education can stop hunger.
The film opens with a child of a developing country sitting on a desk in a deserted landscape chewing on a pencil. Then, an urgent request is made for SMS send outs in order to help Actionaid raise funds to build a school in Rwanda.
