See It: The Community being helped

This event is a year long progect that I have started at my high school in order to raise awreness abotu HIV/AIDS. The week before World AIDS Day on December 1st I presented a hard hitting statistic each morning and then concluded the week with a showing of the documentary "A Closer Walk" with discussion time afterwards. I also made 250 AIDS ribbons for everyone to wear that Friday. I am also planning to have speaker series later in the year with different guests such as a teacher whose brother dies of AIDS, a lawyer who goes to Africa to work on legislation there about AIDS, and a friend of a teacher who works in a clinic in Africa.
For more information on the movie itself you can go to www.acloserwalk.org

East Side School Video

Submitted by J.A.-G on Fri, 2007-09-21 01:14.

See It: The Community being helped

I was part of a project that created and produced a fund-raising video to support saving the East Side School in my home town of Decorah, Iowa. It was built in 1897, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The video was used to show to people to encourage them to give a pledge of support for the renovation of the East Side School. The fund raising effort was very successful. My role in the project was as spokesperson on the video. On the video I gave a tour of the building and interviewed people who had ideas for programs that could be used in the school. YOu can see the video online at http://www.eastsideschool.org/vid.html
