Voice of a Mountain

Some of you may have met my good friend Michael. He's the fellow with red curly hair from my basketball team and a very special friend. Well, he just got back from a 5 month trip to Guatemala where he was working with coffee farmers and making a documentary film. This was a huge project for him as he's never made a film before and he wanted to use this to raise money and support for the farmers who have been displaced. Read more about it on his website and check out the preview and think about helping out when the time comes. He's going to release it in March. It's amazing!

I need to see this movie, so do my classes. We are working right now with a sister village (Santa Cruz) in Guat and two of the teachers from the village are here at PCHS this week. How cool is your friend! Ange, hook this teach up!

ANGE,

You got to find out if your friend went anywhere near Lake Atitlan (was that the lake), Santa Cruz, Panajachel. I hung out today with a few men from the Lake Atitlan region and tomorrow we will do the same. Powerful film.
