Dear GlobalGiver,
Over the Labor Day weekend, as many of us prepared for the first day of school, GoodWeave debuted an inspiring video about one of the "carpet kids" from the rescue center you so generously support.
Watch the inspiring video now.
Produced by a renowned Sundance filmmaker, this three-minute animated short depicts the real and triumphant journey of Sanju from carpet loom to classroom. While this is her story, you helped make it such a happy ending.
Within hours of its release, Stand with Sanju was all over social media from TakePart to Upworthy where it was shared over 5,300 times. In addition, CNN ran a special blogpost I wrote (Time to Get Children Out of Factories and Into Schools) about how to ensure the 168 million children around the world like Sanju get “back to school” as well.
It’s audacious to be sure, but it can be done if we all take a stand. And this GlobalGiving project is just that -- you taking a stand with Sanju and all the "carpet kids" throughout South Asia.
Thank you,
Nina Smith
