Story Boarding a Promotional Video

Well, we have planned to meet this weekend to film some footage that will be apart of a promotional video for Graffiti Foundation. I am excited about what this video has the potential to do for the foundation and the kinda of opportunities that it will open up. It took a little while to secure a good weekend that works for the team at the same time the equipment would be available but it is happening now. We hope to get some good shots of downtown buildings with graffiti on them...maybe a few shots of some inner city kids walking the streets somewhere and much much more...the creativity of our team has made this video a fun fulfilling project to work on...Stay tuned for a creative and dynamic video drawing a picture of what Graffiti foundation represents in a very real way...

Banker to the Poor

Banker to the Poor is the story of one man dream, which ended up helping thousands across the world. Muhammad Yunus vision “helping people help themselves”. Believing all the people needed was financial help in the form of a small loan and some education on the principal of managing money. He believed the rest would follow and they could do for themselves better than they ever imagined before.

He took his idea and started the Grameen Bank in 1983, which focused on giving micro- loans to people who had no collateral or other financial backing. Grameen Bank, based on the belief that credit is a basic human right, not the privilege of a fortunate few, now provides over 2.5 billion dollars of micro –loans to more than two million families. Most of Grameens clients are women around 94%. The repayment rates are nearly 98%. He used his idea to build a bank that creates an opportunity for everyone.

On another note...

I have put some video clips of various graffiti artist to spice up our blog spot. Also, there are now links down at the bottom of our blog that are linked to Davin's mother pages.

Could be nice...

It would be nice if we could possibly team this foundation and The Graffiti Foundation. Check out the website, and let's get Davin involved.
