If you followed my blog earlier this year about my efforts to promote English and literacy among the leprosy-affected in India, you may be interested in this documentary by Doug Jardine that was aired this past Sunday on Utah Business Matters. It will also be aired this next Sunday. Following is the link to the documentary on YouTube:
The documentary illustrates the three-fold mission of Rising Star Outreach: microfinance, education, and a mobile medical clinic. Much of the video on the documentary was shot while I was in India earlier this year. Other volunteers featured on this documentary include
Shaun Parry (founder of
Promethean Spark),
Stacy Tookey, and David Archuleta, all of whom were also among the volunteer corps on my expedition earlier this year.

I cannot help but be inspired by the efforts of these organizations and volunteers. They are a strong agent of change that uplifts the society at large.
