Another Thank You

The teacher in charge of the other project you helped fund withthis effort posteda nice note today:

My students are absolutely ECSTATIC about your choosing to support
our Documentary Broadcast Journalism project. With the purchase of a
video camcorder, your support will enable my students to learn video
broadcast skills and produce an 18-minute, bi-weekly broadcast to the
3,100 students on our campus, capturing the the many stories, sports
and news, on our campus.

I am confident your support will unleash
the creativity within my journalism students. We have been watching
“Hoop Dreams” and identifying documentary film-making techniques in
anticipation of starting this project. That’s why I wish to thank you
not only for your financial support, but also each of your belief in my
students ability to produce a first-rate video broadcast with a
documentary style.

We look forward to sharing our work with each of you who have made this project to be possible and thank you again!

And he had this addendum, in response to donor Mike who asked that students investigate why schools are forced to beg for funds:

[We] plan to do as Mike encourages…RAISE A STINK (a real nasty STINK) through our passion to tell stories that need to be told while developing our journalism skills. I promise we will not be passive journalism…there is too much to report that’s going on now!

Well done, all.
