Reaching for the Sky

Katitawa School in the rural indigenous community of Salasaca, Ecuador was an amazing place to visit and work as a volunteer teaching English.

I completed this multimedia production in the two weeks prior to returning home to Canada in May 2013 after spending 5 months in Ecuador. And almost 2 years in South America since 2010.

The video needs no introduction. It speaks for itself. Enjoy!

Click 'Vimeo' to view full screen.  And it was produced in HD so best viewed that way!
