About this project

We're James Connolly and Rachelle Escaravage, a married couple that met in journalism school. We tell the stories of change-makers and the social ventures they drive. These stories bolster online attention and outreach, and with them, dollars to their cause.

We're filming a number of organizations and enterprises on our next trip across Asia and Africa, and want to document the journey for a web series. We'll also provide eight organizations – doing amazing work but lacking marketing funds – a free video for their website. Film to Give.

We'll film and edit an eight part series of our trip across India, Nepal, Cambodia, Kenya and Zambia. We'll be editing as we travel -- so beyond the video each social venture will receive -- we'll be putting together a web series concurrently. You'll be coming along for the journey - often times down dusty roads on the back of a motorbike - and will see first-hand, the challenges and joys of producing video out of a backpack in the developing world.

Our budget will cover costs associated with travel expenses, equipment, and our time. By backing this project, you'll be 'giving to give' each organization a three to five minute video highlighting the work they're doing and people they're serving. The web series and each identity video will be heartwarming, engaging and informational, and will stand as calls to action. It'll also be a lot of fun to watch, too!

Stories are our passion. Join us in telling them.

Blessings and thanks,

Rachelle and James

UPDATE:

We've connected with Room to Read, a non-profit based in San Francisco, that happens to be operating in more than half of the places we're scheduled to go. With your help, we can serve them with a number of stories, too.

"Room to Read partners with local communities throughout the developing world to provide quality educational opportunities by establishing libraries, creating local language children's literature, constructing schools, and providing education to girls."
www.RoomtoRead.org

In addition to the stops mentioned above, we'll visit Room to Read's field teams in Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Cambodia, Vietnam, Zambia & South Africa. Room to Read has offered to cover costs associated with stopping in three extra countries.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO THIS WITH YOUR HELP!

THANK YOU!
