ViewChangeFilmContest.org has launched an online competition to find powerful new stories about the progress being made in achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). These short videos will be used to raise awareness, inspire action, and accelerate the worldwide movement to reduce extreme poverty by 2015. Jacqueline came to me with a bag full of mini digital video tapes about 6 weeks ago and we cobbled together a 5 minute film and entered the contest. The film depicts the construction of a well at Kwihala Village & a rainwater harvesting tank built at Isukamahela School. The villagers take ownership of the wells/tanks & sustain them, a key component for empowering them towards self-sufficiency. Many babies & children die of preventable diseases caused by contaminated water.
First prize for the contest has been raised to $50,000 and there are prizes for each category as well… That money could help put in a lot of wells and save a lot of lives…. I would appreciate your time in looking at the film and, if you could, vote for it. You’ll need to sign up to be a member of LinkTV.org, which takes about 1 minute, then you can vote for our film every day from Sept. 4 – 15th With a little help from our friends, it is not inconceivable that Jacqueline could win –at least in the Sustainability category where –at the time of this writing she is tied for second place.
Thank you for your time with this, it really is a great thing that she is doing her and I am proud to participate… Would love it if you could return several times and vote for it over the next 2 weeks!
