I'm ashamed to admit it but I've yet to see this Academy Award winning movie. Yes, I know it's not the best thing to promote something I've yet to see however I'm going on good faith of friends and family, this movie has a direct relationship with the work that is being done in India. Turk Pipkin, an actor, author, and creator of a major documentary entitled "One Peace At A Time" which will have its world premier April 14, 2009. "One Peace at a Time" is Turk Pipkin's inspiring look at the possibility of providing basic rights - water, nutrition, healthcare, education, opportunity and more - to every child on earth. It coveres India through the eye of a camera and similarly tells the story of a life seldom seen by the rest of the world. Turk follows our partner organization, The Miracle Foundation in the work they are doing for kids living in several orphanages in India. The correlation between Slumdog Millionaire, SMF and TMF is the story of India. The caste system creates poverty unlike the rest of the world. The 'have-nots' are forever without.
August 7th - 16th, 2009 SMF in partnership with The Miracle Foundation is offering an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the 'untouchables' residing at 3 orphanages sponsored by TMF. We will be developing Optometric and Dental field teams to serve one week and perhaps considering an annual response at these orphanages.
We welcome applications for this team through the SMF Volunteer Application found on our website. Lay and Professional alike are encouraged to participate.
