«People who are blind are often seen as the “rest” of the society. Alphabetization programs are developed in this project to support the many people who are blind in their social and financial integration.»
«We can do everything but it is important to seed the grain of hope for people who, in the society, are treated as the "rest" and incapable. And by doing this we do not expect anything in return, neither from the blinds themselves nor from their families.»

Honorary prize – 2010
Chad
Chadian Association for non-violence
Tags: awareness raising, non violence, theatre, conflicts, traditions
«From the civil war of the 1979, sheepherders and farmers are often in conflict. Our Chadian Association for non-violence tries to use art and theater to solve this problem».
«Traditions in Africa and in Chad are based on oral communication. People are then used to think deep on what is said and played. Our sayings allow to communicate to the youth within the traditions. A theater empowers them therefore to self introspect on their daily deed.»
