Hello everyone,
Sorry if this was already answered, I was wondering if one's name is in the participants list, does this mean that their video or part of it will appear in the big film?

Greetings during Red Cross Month in 2012! My name is Gardenia C. Hung-Wittler. I have been interested in the Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED training since I was in fifth grade in Santiago de Cuba, when the elementary teacher Emma trained us in basic First Aid, Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation, and Advanced Electronic Defibrillator assistance during the 1967-1968.

I am currently healing from foot surgery. During the 11-11 shoot I was in a walking boot and on a knee scooter! It didn't stop me, just slowed me down and gave me a bit of a challenge to get around the city. I fell only once, but saved my camera from any harm. I apologize for the tartiness of uploading my projects. The month of December was pre surgery appointments, and then surgery, followed by being instructed to be completely off my foot for 8 weeks, AT CHRISTMAS. I am now coming out of…

11/11/11 was a once-a-century date that's "all one" and the perfect moment to reflect on unity. For Bonefish Johnny and Down Pat, the sibling duo behind Florida funk rock band Groove Thangs, it was a perfect time to get together and perform their positive party music, not just for their loyal fans in the south but for everybody everywhere via a concert broadcast live on the world wide web!

With lead singer Down Pat living in upstate New York and the rest of the band located in Fort…

I feel utterly drained of words and ideas. Floating on knowledge of a completed product on deadline, pleased yet eerily unfulfilled. Strange, this empty echo within...

Thanks for the extra time to get video submissions in! I've learned and accomplished a LOT since "AAARRRRGG!" and should be mailing a dvd in this week. No way to upload from my computer. I'm having fun adding music and text and narrative, but cutting the time down has been a hard lesson in objectivity. Not saying I did the greatest job, but for a first time I averaged just over one minute per hour of the filming time. The fear of the computer and software has left me. Next time I'll have a…

When the 11th November '11 came along I was housebound. I wondered what I could do to use that day in a special way. So I decided to do whatever I could do with that day... and the result is as follows.

I begin every day with God, so on this day too I spent time with the LORD of the Holy Bible, the God of Israel. I asked Him if He had something to share. So the first…

The determined look on her face and the confidence in her voice cannot be ignored. Neither can you miss the warmth of the close bond that binds her with the people of her village. Diptirani Rout , a 41-year-old mother of two, truly exemplifies woman power.

Brutal physical assault, blackmail, threatening calls from the local villagers. These are but some of the hardships that have come in the way of Manjulata Sahu, the first woman Sarpanch ( head of village council) of Nadra Gram Panchayat (village council) in Odisha state of India.

History was created in 2008 when the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan ended more than a century of royal rule and moved towards a democratic system of governance. Three years later, another milestone was achieved when 28-year-old Namgay Peldon got elected as the Gup of Tashiding Gewog located in Dagana Dzongkhag. Namgay is the only woman to be elected as a Gup in Bhutan, ever since the nation went to polls in 2008.

 

Namgay attributes this win to the overwhelming support she received…
