Discovering: Shuktara now in production!



DDW has been hard at work these past few weeks! In addition to settling back into our American routine and working our way towards becoming a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we've been focused on producing our first short film, Discovering: Shuktara.

Discovering: Shuktara is an extraordinary story about the Shuktara home, which some of you may remember from our newsletters. Shuktara is the home of 18 boys and girls who have been abandoned or run away from abusive situations. Many non-governmental organizations pass over disabled or deaf homeless youth, but Shuktara seeks them out.
You will be amazed at how far these kids have come, and how they have created a loving family of their own. Check back soon for the trailer!!

Hi Dave and Christy,
My students at HFL wanted to send a big THANK-YOU and Namaste to both of you! We all really enjoyed your presentation about DDW and Shuktara. After reading through your website, blogs, and newsletters as well as experiencing your presentation in our class; we have decided to help your efforts in Shuktara. We will do what we can to help fundraise in our community. When we have finished fundraising we would love to contact you to make our donation.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work! We wish you safe travels,
Love,
HFL ASL 1 Class
and Ms. Stacey Mark
