To kick off the social and environmental sustainability features of this blog, I will now introduce you to a wonderful woman I know from my time in Chicago, Dorothee Royal-Hedinger.
She has been making interesting videos and short films for several years now (most notably in her video magazine Fresh Cut) and it is time share Dorothee's great perspective with a wider audience (a.k.a. YOU).
Dorothee has worked on a film about a great nonprofit organisation, Latin American Medical Providers (LAMP), that travels to Jalapa, Guatemala to provide medical services to communities that would not otherwise have access.
Dorothee writes: "In just under one week, the team sees over 1,000 patients and completes up to 80 surgeries for people who couldn't normally afford treatment. As you may know, Mark and I traveled to Jalapa with the team this February and we got to see firsthand how much this humanitarian work is needed."
