TELL UNILEVER CORPORATION TO COME CLEAN ON THEIR PROMISE!!

The Issue

The OMO Man … unkept Promise!


 Over 24 years ago, on one of my visits to Egypt, I went to visit the village as usual, and especially to the cemetery to pay my respects to my parents, who passed away in the late 80s. The cemetery is located on the outskirts of the village near a big mulberry tree, which had survived all this time. We called it the Dokr (الدكر-the male.) If you get to the Dokr  (الدكر ( on your own, it was a sign of adulthood, like smoking, then climbing the dokr, you are a Dokr, a man, …! I have been working on a film a documentary about the Coptic Man who lived in my village and was buried in my family cemetery. As I was walking toward the cemetery with my camera, I spotted a few children playing by the big Mulberry tree, three girls and a boy of the tender ages of 8 to 11. The boy was climbing the tree, and the girls were dumping water in the “el Mashrooua” the project by the tree.

Over 24 years later, one day, as I’m working on my film documentary, I found the video file hidden inside a big file. I had promised to tell these children’s story, unlike the OMO man, I’m keeping my promise! Now, I'm writing to you not sure what to make of this or how you feel about the dirt that the OMO man put on the cleaning brand. However, I want to work on this story and go back to Egypt to look for these village kids after all these years.

Omo promised gifts in return for children collecting OMO bags and never gave them anything.These children deserve their stories told, and their voices heard. Help me fulfill my promise by supporting my journey back to Egypt. Sign this petition and be part of bringing light to their lives once more!
