In April, 2015 I visited the school to do some filming.  The visit was amazing.  It was awesome to see how much work had been done. I meet the teachers and my heart was warmed by their dedication to the students.  And meeting the children was a magical experience.

For the documentary, I traveled around the local villages to get video of what happens to kids who don't get schooling.  I was looking for kids working in the fields, or very very young brides doing laundry or cooking, etc.  To my surprise, I was not able to capture any of those shots.  Why? Because the kids were all at the school!  It was a glorious realization that helped me realize what a huge impact this project is having on the community.

Although the school has accomplished a lot, there is so much more to do.  They want to get more school buses so they can expand their reach and get more children into the school. They need computers, more teachers, more food, more medical supplies, etc.  And then there is the constant need for funds to do the general management and maintenance of a school. So, my commitment to this work in the world continues so that I can help provide them with what they need.

My hope is that the documentary will be released in early 2016.

I had a blast on this video shoot in India. Take a peek at the video and you can see the joy on the faces of these children.

Here's to your unique work in the world,

PS -  As I was filming, the school bell rang.  Obviously, I had lost track of time!

It was this project that inspired us to do the documentary.
