While in Nicaragua we ministered at a home for abused children and teens. The home was called “The Quinta” and everyone there was so incredible. One day my teammate Kelsi Dawe and I decided to make a stop-motion film with the kids. We took a few hundred photos and put together this video:
Creating the film was a great way for us to connect with the kids in spite of the language barrier. The kids enjoyed it so much (as did Kelsi and I), that over the course of two weeks Kelsi and I went back and shot around 9,000 photos, creating a 10 minute stop motion film! It became sort of a creative arts class that Kelsi and I taught for the kids.
(this is kinda long, but it’s cause we made it for the kids not so much for anything else) http://vimeo.com/8307074
At the end of the month, we got to show the kids the film that they starred in AND helped to create! It was beautiful. Creativity is a miracle 🙂
The 18″ Journey, among many other things, was an incredible opportunity for me to go to a creative arts school. Through brilliant teachers, incredible classes, and many unforgettable experiences, I was able to unlock even more of the imagination and creativity that God gave me. I can’t wait to share what I’ve been given with more kids all around the world!
