Dear Friends and Family,
I will be spending this Labor Day weekend in the Dominican Republic volunteering in an impoverished village comprised mainly of Haitian refugees and sugar workers.
In addition to sending them basic supplies such as shoes, clothing, backpacks, pens, and notebooks, I will be working with the young people of the village on a film project in which they document their lives, their stories, and their communities themselves. I have worked on this type of film project before and the results are wonderful. The short film that we create will be used to create awareness of the situation in the bateys of the DR and raise further funds.
To get this project done I need to raise at least $500, quickly. Please consider donating $10 or $20 dollars. If you want to help, donate here through my friends at the New Orleans Kid Camera Project.
We will know which donations came through this site from this time period, so the money will go to me.
Your contribution will help cover the costs of this film project and will buy much-needed supplies for the people of Munoz. Please note that your receipt will read as a donation to The New Orleans Kid Camera Project or to ‘One Bird’.
