You can vote for The heroes and the miracle baby by The Syria Campaign to recieve this year's Golden Radiator Award here.

The war in Syria is known for destruction, chaos and the refugee crisis.

Amid all the horror, brave and selfless people are saving lives and protecting human dignity.

Khaled Farah is a Syrian who could have fled and sought safety elsewhere. Instead, he became a volunteer rescue worker with The White Helmets who heroically goes to bombed-out areas and saves lives.

In this video he shares the story of a two-month old child who miraculously survived a bombing, even after being buried in the rubble of the destroyed building.  

As the radiator jury notes, “Many organizations put their donor audience as number one priority. However, through this ad, they are trying to be more true to their issue, rather than to their audience and possible donors.”

What are the Radiator Awards?

Maybe some volunteer is spending her spring break in post-ebola Sierra Leone. Maybe she refills a hand sanitizer container and unloads some water from a truck. Clearly, the country would be doomed without these vital contributions and, clearly, the only sensible thing to do would be to capture it all with Snapchat.

Or perhaps an NGO wants to replenish its budget as the holiday season ramps up. Footage of starving and smiling children set to uplifting hymns should do the trick, right?

In the humanitarian world, the traps of self-satisfaction and misrepresentation are everywhere.

And The Radiator Awards wants to change that.

Started in 2012 with a humorous video called “Radi-aid Africa for Norway,” the organization aims to humorously challenge harmful stereotypes of Africans because, in their words, “stereotypes and simple solutions to complex problems are more damaging, than helping.”

Each year, “The Rusty Radiator Awards” recognize (and skewer) three videos that use stereotypes. For example: a guitar-strapped white guy singing a cheesy song of hope while walking through an impoverished camp in Africa.  

“The Golden Radiator Awards,” meanwhile, celebrate videos that accurately and creatively depict a situation or bust stereotypes.

This is one of the 3 Golden Radiator finalists for 2015. (You can vote for the winner here.)
