Recently, I stumbled on a small non-profit film production company that documented living on $1.00 a day in rural Guatemala for 8 weeks. I watched the first documentary Living on One Dollar {available on Netflix} just last weekend and thought it was an amazing {and heartbreaking} look into the lives of extreme poverty. to date, the documentary has raised more than $90,000 to alleviate poverty.
Now, these college buddies are filming Salam Neighbor {right now, as I type this}. It will document the EXTREME poverty and living conditions in Syria. This time, they are living for one month along side Syrian refugees. They are posting on social media sites regularly as they film, like Facebook and Instagram, if you are interested in following along until the documentary is available.
I thought the first film was super interesting, and I expect Salam will be as well.
Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

Apparently the tile counter tops were discussed on the day I was out of town. For the record, I love ceramic tile counter tops. That is all.

We just watched Living on One Dollar last weekend, too. It was a great movie and very eye opening.

We also enjoyed Living on one Dollar a Day. These people were so generous and loving when they had nothing. We are so fortunate to have good food, water and housing. I look forward to seeing the next movie by these fine young men in Syria. Keep safe guys!
