Teach A Man To Fish

This summer, I traveled with three other students to Bolivia to document an agricultural school’s conversion to self-sufficiency. We shot the video above to tell the story of the school and Teach A Man To Fish, the international non-profit behind the school’s transformation.

Our goal is to raise $7,000 to establish a small-scale poultry project and a tree nursery, which will help the school reach self-sufficiency. To donate or learn more about how these funds will be used, click here.

Day 18

Our last two days in Tarairi were spent wrapping up filming and enjoying more of the school, the small town, and Villamontes. We picked up the last few bits of footage we needed, ate at our favorite steak restaurant, and prepared for the end of our trip.
