It's finally happening!!!

Plans are in the works for me to create a short documentary about water education and advocacy in Rio de Janeiro!My good friend, and returned Peace Corps Volunteer, Julia Nelson is a the Program Manager for Project W.E.T. She has been working with a community in Rio for several years to identify issues related to water and health. They found that due to the large amounts of solid waste left in the favelas, there are high numbers of people suffering from Dengue fever and diarrhea. They have created curricula and materials for the teachers and community leaders to use for educating people about ways to improve these problems.A lot the work is being done to improve the lives of the 1.2 million people living in the favelas around Rio de Janeiro. I will be going down to document the work that is going on there in order to educate people here in the States. My Kickstarter campaign starts Tuesday!!! And there will be deals for people who join in the first week- so check back here for the link!I have dreamt for a long time about making documentaries, and I have worked towards this goal in babysteps. It's finally starting to happen, and I am so grateful to all of you who have supported me. Much Love!
