Congratulations, nice work.

good job well put together, GL

fantastic pod

Lets put this on TV already, quit playing around Current.

Great!

Philippians 4:13) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

If you keep faith in our saviour you will see things come abundantly.

very informative...nice footage, greenlight

It is very informative

Nice to see your pod finally reaching #1. It's so TV-worthy! :)

I am looking forward to seeing this on TV!

I liked your piece very much. Having been in contact with similar environments I really can relate to the work that goes in undertaking such effort most importantly the support needed to continue.

I'm glad to see a good piece getting the word out about changing the direction of these young people's lives.

I thought the piece was uplifting. But I would like to have known more about the local government and its attitudes towards the school. Had there ever been a school in that village? Why not?

Well done...GL'd

Feel free to stop by and comment on my work any time.

The professionnal approach of the subject and characters make this film interesting by offering a real and human (and sensitive) point of view.
Images and interviews are fine as they allow intimacy with characters. I just think that, sometines, editing could have been a little bit less "nervous" (not the exact word I wanted to say, but the only one I find in english!) as the main element in this film is that time, patience, love and motivation can resolve problems. In that case, editing sometimesdon't let us time enough to appreciate some images. As a film is always a trip: Thank you for the invitation !

A wonderful piece still! Very informative and straight to the point. I love your camera and editing work.

Please let me know what you think about my first uploaded pod: Susan Cagle, thanks!

My favorite place in the world . . .GL. Just turn down the audio from the main interview a smidge and you'll be set.

Thanks for the positive feedback on my pod too.

beautiful piece...GL

powerful
please check out my pod on current

Great pod...heart felt. Can't wait to see it on tv.

I love this pod. GL!

moving, but seems a little dated...an update by an anchor would sure be nice once this makes it to the airwaves. Greenlight....

Excellent. GL

An inspirational and hopeful piece. The audio levels could use a bit of a balance but otherwise, lovely.

doesn't take much to make a difference. this should be shared with all, greenlight please.

Good people doing good things. GL.

Greenlight. This belongs on television. Right now!

Now he is one of the good guys. What an inspirational story. What a hero. A true champion of his community. Of the world community.

keepin it real!!!! thank god

Beautiful and inspiring. To see people with such spirit under such adverse conditions continue to have hope and make things happen because they sincerely care for other human beings is what life is all about. Thank you for this video.

Very beautiful! This piece was well shot and edited and even more importantly it had a wonderful story! I have a feeling this will air very soon.
I'd love it if you could check out a video of mine about my dealing with my mother having been diagnosed with breast cancer. THANKS! link

Yes for GL...
This is where change really takes place. The Grassroots level.

i really like this - a good story, well told. GL.

Nice story...

It's really inspiring to hear what this guy has done. You've captured this very well-- the footage of the kids and the outiside of the school is extremely moving.
When you get a chance please check out my pod "generation debt." It's about Gen X/Y ers facing credit problems and student loans.

Many thanks and GL from me. You've got my support.

GL to this moving pod.

i think africa merits more attention. in france, for example, the media deal all the time with the humanitarian "crisis" in palestine and lebanon while the real crisis is in africa!

please don't let our first pod "sorbonne off limits" sink! it also merits little attention.

Ysu... Hi, homegirl. I greenlit your video a while ago, but I think my comment was overlooked. I could really use your personal review... Please, take a chance at my New Urban Art pod. It could use your personal videography advice and approval for TV.

Don't sleep, now... Thank you! 8')

Your work is amazing!!! GL
-----------------------------------
If you have time could you check out my VC2 ad for L'Oreal, its called "Old to Young" please give me suggestions on making it better and please give it a GL. Thanks.

What I like about this piece is that it recognizes the real heros that we never hear about or see.

Thank you for sharing that awesome video post... I am doing my part do build leaders in the community. I could learn a few things from you. Please, please, take just a moment to return your input on my own CAN ART video. I would personally love your consent for TV.

Nice pod! very moving.

Great pod. Very inspirational and well put together. GL from me.

this is lovely site. It lets the rest of the world see what other people are having to do in order to get the same things that the rest of us take for granted. Niece cinematography and editing.

By educating the wonderful children of Africa we not only give the people a chance but also their wildlife.

I hate to say it, but American children who attend school free of charge NEED to see this piece on many ages attempting to learn and empower themselves through education. This is a nice piece! Definate GL. Probably a 3CCD camera to help decrease pixelation, but use what you have to get what you want.

Really nice piece...

GL

fabulous subject, good job with the film and getting the message across... GL for sure!!

It's good to see positive things coming out of Africa. Well produced piece.

Check out our pod, S.F. Die In:

good pod. if i had a criticism, i would want more cutaways to shots of children and school while our narrator speaks in the beginning. valuable subject for us to learn more about.
when you have a chance, please watch my pit bul pod

This film illustrates how lucky we are in the Western world. How our youth take much of their school life for granted.

I really enjoyed your film, it was refreshing and inspirational. Where in Ghana is the school located? I recently spent some time in Abeka which is about 20 minutes north of Accra.
Well, good luck and great job + keep me up to date.

Love this pod!!!!!!!

GREENLIGHT!
please check out my pod - the kitchen killer - and tell me what you think

Nice Job...G/L from Me....when you have a minute - - check the Kitchen Killer out - heres the:link

May Goodwin's determination and love set an example to those who still don't think that one person can create change for the better of many.

beautiful shots!

wow very nice. I gave it the greenlight. I think a pod discribing your reason for creating the pod would be interesting as well, some of your background info.
check out my pod and tell me what you think please, if you like it please greenlight!
"A window to my world" is about my life with an inborn genetic disocrder

great work, not just inspiring but challenging. It challenge me to live a selfless live.

Makes me feel less crappy about the loans I have to take out for grad school. At least I have the opportunity. I can't imagine starting a school from nothing, but the teacher is so optimistic. I even got a bit teary eyed at the end. Great work.

Please someone forward this to Bill and Melinda. Wonderful pod. Amongst the best I saw so far. I have been to Ghana a few times. It is sad to see people in the U.S. quitting school here because they don't like it. Seeing all the children crammed into rooms with such enthusiasm is inspiring. I just wish somehow they can finish school and fulfill their dreams instead of having to drop out for lack of funds or because they have to work to support their family.

hey ysu! some real good shots here, and i love the rooster crowing as the opening shot.. what a life-changing experience you must've had on your jouney down in ghana. i wanna say thank you for showing us, people that are making difference in the world, doing positive things, and helping others..it's encouraging, and feels good to see this story. GL from kendallfresh.
check out my doc, 'the big brother show.' and let me know your thoughts, too.

very inspiring.
if you get a chance check out my pod "the collector."

Thank you for speaking for those who cannot. I appreciate your work. I'd work with you anyday. Amazing voice you have and thanks for doing your part. GL from me. Please check on my Voice of The Murmurs and help me to speak for those who cannot speak. Please stay in touch, Danielmklopp~

Great work... this needs to be seen by the wolrd on TV now.

Check out my "Pipes of Peace" pod... click on my photo.

I volunteered in Sega too....and think you have perfectly captured the hope that the school represents for the community. With so much hard work from Mr Godwin, hopefully there can be more success stories. Loved it!

Really Great! I enjoyed this snapshot into Sega...

I had the privalege of spending a week in Sega to check out possible volunteer placements for Canadian university students. Godwin is an inspirational person. At 30, he has begun a school which now educates 300 students, has brought filtered water into the community & now even electricity. Quite a humble, determined man.

Awesome. How did you find out about this? I will take notes. I'm new to this whole video shooting/editing/journalism thing but please check out my video "AM/PM"!

lovely. would agree that cutting away from the head-teacher, especially at first would be even more effective, since you have such great colours and images it's a shame not to use more of them. that said, GL from me -eleni

I teach in Canada, our students have no idea how good they have it. I'm going to show them this pod.

I agree a little more of what the teacher said could be V.O. but it certainly doesn't take away from the piece. Great job.

Please click on my head and check out my latest pod... "small town climate change"

Thanks,
asm

Thanks for the comments! To sholao, I taught at the school while touring in Ghana, in the end, the teachers and students there taught me more than I did to them. -y.

How did you find out about this? Lovely, and a GL from me.

Lovely little snippet. A small suggestion. You could use the teacher's voice over and lay appropriate visuals over it for a more effective portrayal. I longed to see more of the school.

GREAT JOB! Reminds me of the lewa education fund they have in kenya. So many good people are trying to do positive things in this crazy world. I know i took my school for granted when i was a child. How lucky i was.

Loved the images and story. GL.
