“The more I learned about the situation in Western Sahara, the more I was embarrassed by my ignorance, felt disappointed with the educational system and started questioning how we learn if not from public discourse. The good thing however is, the more I learned, the more motivated I was to share this information with others; telling them what others missed to tell them at school, in the media, by their political representatives.”

(Cathrin Lemoine, Volunteer from 2008-9)

If you can commit more time to supporting the charity and the cause, you can now become an ambassador for Sandblast by using your knowledge and skills, your network and your experience with the Saharawis. Help others to learn about the Saharawis by organising local groups and networks by

• screening movies
• holding presentations and lectures
• facilitating talks and discussions on aspects of the Western Sahara conflict
• developing campaigns with others to promote the cause.

You don’t have to be an expert of the Saharawi cause, as long as you are passionate and confident enough to host and moderate meetings and events. Material such as documentaries, images and merchandising to sell at these occasions will be provided by Sandblast.

To become an ambassador, join the Community for Creative Collaborations or contact us directly.
