Dearest backers:
We want to send one last heartfelt THANK YOU for your INCREDIBLE support.$48,695 raised. 1,029 backers. It's simply AMAZING.
When we started this campaign, we expected our tight-knit community to be our biggest support system. But you have EXCEEDED our expectations and made this an UNFORGETTABLE fundraising endeavor. We are so blown away -- thanks to everyone who posted, shared, and backed the project.
We want to make sure to tell this story the way it deserves to be told. DANCING IN JAFFA belongs to all of you now, and we want to keep everyone both informed and aware of what is happening throughout the process. We believe this film has mainstream appeal and can really help propel Pierre and Dancing Classrooms' message globally.
If you want to learn more about Dancing Classrooms please visit: http://www.dancingclassrooms.com/. Also, please, if you have any thoughts, ideas, comments, or suggestions, send them along.
Lastly, if everyone can spend just two minutes to LIKE us on Facebook, that would be AWESOME! Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dancing-In-Jaffa/198250196860339
We are so excited! We will send each of you your rewards as soon as they are available. Thank you again, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
And for now, please enjoy this photo of Jaffa looking beautiful during sunset..
All the best,
The Dancing in Jaffa Team

HI BACKERS!
We're nearing the close, with just 24 HOURS LEFT...
Following the heartbreakingly tragic school shootings at Sandy Hook, we can only hope that violence can be stopped through education and art. Pierre and his Dancing Classrooms provide tools for the children that are essential -- not just in violent conflict zones, but everywhere. We hope these tools and lessons can be shared with the world.
With that said, we are working to reach as MANY people as possible. Our goal is still 1,000 BACKERS! So, PLEASE take a moment to send the campaign to anyone and everyone you know...
We provided photos to show you moments during our time working on the film -- from shooting on the streets in Jaffa to our participation in New York's Good Pitch -- and to introduce you to some of the people who worked on the project. Since we have been working for such a long time with many, many amazing people, this is just a small preview...
We are overwhelmed by the love and support over these past 30 days. We cannot WAIT to share this film with you and the rest of the world!

Amazing. Just AMAZING! We are so blown away by the support you all have given us already! More than $45,000 raised, and all thanks to YOU!
Here is a note from Pierre himself, who is just as touched as us by all the people that have pitched in to help out this project --
I just need to take this opportunity to thank each and every person for supporting my work and program.
THANK YOU! I am personally very grateful for your contributions, but even so much more than that, to see the number of people supporting us makes me so very happy. Thank you all again and please continue to help us spread the word and share the journey I went through with the children of Jaffa.
Sincerely,
Pierre
Every last bit of help will be tremendously useful in getting the film out to as many people as possible in as many places as possible.
We are talking about OUTREACH on a GLOBAL level.
We want to reach 1,000 by the end of the campaign.
As of now that is just 68 more people.
We have 96 HOURS to reach that many people...
Let's do it together.
