Create a 5-minute video appealing to the public, government, political parties, NGOs, and society to raise funds for Salim’s family.
Salim, a 12-year-old boy who loves to learn and dreams of a better future. But his family is very poor, and they struggle to buy basic things. Salim wanted to study at night, but his family only had one lamp, which everyone shared. He tried to make his own lamp so he could study, but it caused a fire. Now, his family’s home is gone, and they have nothing left. They need our help to rebuild and to help Salim keep studying.”
