Ben Lee Foster Films
the problem:
I am trying to reach kids of all ages and nationalities and encourage them to make the right decisions & to follow their dreams. Through my films, they will be inspired to achieve any goal if they just have faith. Don't give up when things seem impossible. Just keep trying.

1,000people involved:
50why it's important:
I have met so many kids that say they can't achieve their goals because they were told they weren't good enough, don't have the skills or don't have the support. I was told I couldn't follow my dreams because I wasn't old enough, didn't having enough money or enough skills, but I had the passion and the faith to not give up. If you don't believe in yourself, then who will?
the plan of action:
I plan to continue to build a strong team of people that are positive and are willing to assist in getting projects done to help encourage people with making the right decisions or to follow their dreams. I speak to kids at schools, libraries and conferences about doing something positive or becoming an entreprenuer. If I can encourage them to accomplish a goal & then they tell the next person to do something positive, soon it will spread and impact many. Kids watch and learn from each other.
how you can get involved:
Others can help by bringing their skills to help make the projects a success. It can be professional people that can help enhance the projects or it can be people that can help train the team to build skills.

What you are saying is so important and is very much like what we believe here at Do Something -- that kids are capable of changing the world, no matter what adults say! This sounds like a really great project. If you haven't already, you should really consider applying for a Do Something grant! Learn more about the grants here: http://www.dosomething.org/grants

Wow, this sounds amazing. There really needs to be more of this kind of work. I hope to some day use some of your videos to inspire youth. I'm working on a video too, to inspire youth, but it's not nearly as detailed as yours. I hope your good messages get really far! Cheyenne
I love what you are doing! Keep it up! If you ever come to Miami, would love to have you share time with The Traveling Canvas!
Cool!
