Malaria Queen Mame Fatou Ndidaye says: I think that my film fits your themes of heroism in the way that Oumoul Khayry Sow’s story is a magnificent human achievement. A little girl, who escapes from a disease and who, instead of fully enjoying her life just like a person who has escaped from death, decides to spend it entirely to help others who lack the means to preserve theirs. She always tries to find support across the world to criss-cross the country every rainy season with her caravan to sensitize populations about malaria (the number one killer disease in Senegal), give out drugs and mosquito nets, give biomedical equipment to health centers, and give medical check ups for free to many people who live in the remote places of Senegal. I firmly believe that Oumoul Khayry Sow fits your description of a Life- Saving Hero. |
About Mame Fatou Ndiaye Mame Fatou Ndiaye says: I was born in November 21st in 1977 in Ziguinchor in the south of Senegal. I grew up there and I graduated from Djignabo High School 1996. I went to college at Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (Senegal’s capital), but after a year I decided to go back to Ziguinchor and take computer science courses. After 2 years I got my diploma in 1999. In February 2005, I went to settle in Dakar with my husband and two sons. In the same year I passed a competition to enter the Dakar Media Centre and started an audiovisual training. In 2005, I got my diploma in Audiovisual and Social Communication, and I work in the field of communication. I got the MY HERO Film Festival information from Cheikh Darou Seck, with whom I’m working regularly on documentary filming and editing. So, I decided to present a My Hero film too. |
