Anak-anak lebih berhak

houtlust — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 23:11:00 GMT

Very strange ads from the Indonesian organisation Yayasan Sayap Ibu.
Yayasan Sayap Ibu mediate adoption of children I think but I'm not sure.
In these ads they asked to stop abortion because there is always a solution and opportunities for children in this world.
I'm absoluty not pro-life but also not pro abortion in many cases. I don't know what to say about these ads, I really don't know.

Copy, with a terrible translation from babelfish.
(can anybody do the right translation?)

Anak-anak lebih berhak!
Who menyebutkan lebih dari 2, 3 juta bayi teraborsi tiap tahunnya.
Beri kesempatan agar mereka menikmati cerianya hidup.
Hindari Aborsi, karena masih ada solusi.

Children more entitled!
Who mentioned more than 2, 3 million babies were aborted each year.
Give the opportunity so that they enjoyed a cheerful life.
Avoid the Abortion, because there is still a solution.

Push him out of begging

I missed this one at my post about the Asia Pacific Advertising Festival. This one got bronze for Campaign Execution for Innovation use of non-conventional outdoor media.
Trikaya Grey Advertising made this great adhesives for ChildCare India.
I didn't found any website of this organisation (anyone?).
Beggar children images put up on the doors of shopping, mails, and other public places.
Copy: Push him out of begging and not out of your way.
It's clear what's that all about.

Great guerilla made for the World Water Day, march 22. The stickers are being stuck in washbasins at public spaces around Belgium and Mexico City, where the 2006 World Water Forum was held.

GREEN Belgium is highlighting this cause by placing stickers on washbasins in 130 public toilets in 9 Belgian towns. The sticker features an African child whose mouth is positioned at the washbasin's overflow, so that the safe, drinkable tap water flows straight into his mouth. It also features the message: “It only takes you a second to access drinking-water, he has to walk 20km. Water is a human right. Help us give them access to drinking-water.”

Jo Van Cauwenberge: “This year's World Water Forum is held in Mexico City, so Belgium will not be the only country to see these stickers. They will also be displayed in congress toilets and hotels in which congress participants are staying so that the message is driven home.”

Ontwikkelingssamenwerking the movie

They have already won most of the advertising awards, feel themself at home in New York, Berlin and Amsterdam. They carry most expensive clothing, drink (and sniff sometimes), are creative, loaded and arrogant. They have humour and no recent development escapes them: Victor (33) and Ben (35) are the successful ART & COPY duo of the prestigious FHTB-WGA (...) advertising agency. For no less than 1150 euro per hour they change one's mind, no mather which product. They decide to do what has succeeded no one else: put Africa on the map. This all about idealism. Okay, it will be nice on their portfolio and it will be a nice holiday too.

This is how the story begins and of course it's going to end a bit different.

Palazinna Productions is making 'Ontwikkelingssamenwerking the movie' this year. You can watch the trailer on their website (in dutch).
Ontwikkelingssamenwerking is the dutch word for helping developing countries.

Via All for inspiration zag ik deze guerilla campagne voor Don Bosco Anbu Illam, een hulpverleningsinstelling voor dakloze kinderen in India.

Een dak voor Uruguay

Wij maken ons druk om een paar copulerende presidenten. Inderdaad Marco sex sells, dat merkte ik ook weer vandaag. De bezoekcijfers schoten omhoog.

Aan de andere kant van de wereld hebben ze wel wat anders aan hun hoofd. Een dak daarboven, daar is behoefte aan. Niet erg sexy.
Ik ga hier geen stichtelijk verhaal houden, de beelden spreken voor zich.
In een aantal landen in Zuid-Amerika zijn organisaties actief die proberen de armsten een simpele huisvesting te geven waaronder in Uruguay: Un Techo para Uruguay.
In Uruguay staan nu op verschillende plaatsen deze beelden (foto's boven) met als titel 'Que la pobreza sea parte de nuestro pasado', 'laat armoede een deel van ons verleden zijn'.
Er leven in Uruguay 142.000 mensen op straat, zo'n 37.000 'huizen' bestaan uit een paar golfplaten en karton.
