The Other side, a new film from Ethiopia, released in the United States during Thanksgiving week sheds light on the crisis of abandoned children in Ethiopia.
The short film by U.S. and Ethiopian crew led by Ethiopian American producer Bemnet Yemesgen is based on a true story of a teenager named Abel who, like thousands other young people in Addis Ababa, finds himself on the brink of becoming a street peddler. Abel is required to vacate the orphanage where he grew up when he turns 18 in a few days, leaving behind his younger brother and without any social safety net to support him as he must navigate life into adulthood as a homeless person.

Nassau, The Bahamas - In the spirit of Thanksgiving, and in its traditional fashion, BTC gave back to a number of community organizations to enable them to provide assistance to many in need.

BTC CEO, Garry Sinclair said, “BTC is inextricably bound up with the Bahamian people, so giving back is simply a natural part of who we are and what we do.
