By Wonder Guchu (Windhoek) - Former Zimbabwean street kid will August embark on a motorbike journey that will take him through some African countries and Europe raising awareness and collecting footage for a documentary on the plight of children.

Dubbed the Trail of Hope, Tendai Sean Joe will be accompanied by Albert Arcona on the three month motorbike journey whose proceeds will be channeled towards Cape Town organisation MyLife.

MyLife, run by who have formerly lived on the streets, rehabilitates the homeless by integrating them into society. 

British Director Andy Wilson, director of David Duchovny and Angelina Jolie's 1997 movie Playing God will make the Trail of Hope documentary.

The project is being supported by internationally renowned actors Billy Zane and James Purefoy, Hakeem Kazeem of Pirates of the Caribbean fame ,Just Jinjer’s lead vocalist Art Matthews, Top Billing presenter Jeannie D.

Trail of Hope takes off from Cape Town (South Africa) ends in England after passing through Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Spain, France and Germany.

The trail culminates with two concerts in Berlin and London where international celebrities who support the cause are expected to attend and the money will be used to build an Ubuntu Eco Village in Cape Town.

The pair will interview children living on the street, document their stories on blog, video as well as in pictures.

They will also sleep on the streets, in churches and in children’s homes."Millions of children live and work on the streets, without food, education, adequate shelter, or a loving family or protection from traffickers, peadophiles, criminals and abusers.

"These children are caught in a desperate struggle which sees them surviving the realities of poverty, addiction, gangsterism, crime, institutionalisation, life without and disease.

"These are our future generations that we have conveniently put on the periphery of society and labelled ‘street’ child," says Tendai, a Zimbabwean-born former street child.

In order to make their journey happen, the pair are looking for sponsorship in the form of product endorsement, financial contributions or donations of equipment.

"We require a film production company or TV station to cover our ride. We would like to partner with the corporate world, public figures and all those who support this cause. The ultimate goal is to make as much noise as possible and create awareness to the plight of the street children across Africa."
