My School - Government Girls High School Lalapet, Hyderabad, India: Students participated with full enthusiasm in making the video film. All the participants were first acquainted about the working of a mini digi video camera. They then went through rehearsal. Selection of the characters was made after collecting everybody¡s views. When my students showed the documentary to the parent committee members in our school area, they were very impressed by the project and one of them donated money for girl’s future education.

"As our school has local language as the medium of instruction we have some difficulty in speaking and writing English. But after this project has started, we are continuously reading and posting the messages in his forum, and this has helped to improve our language. I liked the project very much. I am really enjoying it."
"By participating in this project we got friends in different countries. Now I feel happy and proud to have friends in different countries. I hope this project becomes a success as so many students from so many countries are participating in it."
