This animation will be used in villages in India to teach about the Drumstick Tree, the leaves and fruits of which are very high in Vitamin A. FrÈdÈric Back created some of the models for this animation, including the wonderful butterfly at the right. |

Today's information technology can be used to serve the world's poorest people. Trees for Life is making one such effort. We are learning how to create multi-media educational materials (animations and videos) to communicate our message. This technique of teaching and learning has proven to be extremely effective in the communication of social messages. We will train people in India how to make their own multi-media educational materials to address socially relevant problems. They will identify their own problems, how they can address them, and what messages would best communicate these things. Local songs, drama and humor will be used. The latent creativity of such people is truly astounding. The multi-media techniques provide a platform for such creativity to manifest and make a great impact. |
