    In rural Guatemala child labor is commonplace. Many children do not continue their studies after sixth grade – opting instead to work to support their families.  Young girls have it particularly hard with a high rate of pregnancy at a young age.  For parents in extreme poverty it is often difficult to justify sending their children to school.

    Mayan Families is a US based non-profit that operates schools around Lake Atitán, through their student sponsorship program nearly 3,000 students and their families have access to education.

    This 6 part series highlights problems facing the education system in Guatemala. The videos follow 3 students throughout their daily lives as they work to support their families while at the same time balancing their studies and aspirations.

    For the project  I interviewed over a dozen people: community leaders, students, teachers, parents, and Mayan Families staff gathering a wide range of perspectives for the story.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1491455030450{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-xs”][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″ css=”.vc_custom_1491497604743{padding-top: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRsQhxIfCoA” align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1491500995642{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1491508483874{padding-left: 20px !important;}”]

They were re purposing material from an old barn and integrating it with modern architecture in a home that resembled a sugar shack.

    Ben and his crew had been working on the project for two years – crafting every minute detail of the house by hand. They were currently wrapping up the last stage of the project: a 2 car garage. He invited me out to the site to document him and his workers and take photos for their portfolio.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1490898985206{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #232323 !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text el_class=”white”][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”bottom” css=”.vc_custom_1490899745043{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;background-color: #383838 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″ css=”.vc_custom_1490899159083{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #232323 !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Aerial Photography” font_container=”tag:h1|font_size:30px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:40px” el_class=”white” css=”.vc_custom_1490900565574{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text css_animation=”none” el_class=”white”]Ben was particularly interested in getting a photo of the whole work crew in front of the finished house. I pitched the idea of using a drone to take photos of the crew up on the roof.  Although it took a bit of co-ordination the result was a unique photo for the the Builder’s website.

The three schools: Carpentry, Computers and sewing provide a bridge between primary education and real world work for motivated students.

    For this project I interviewed three students and teachers combining their first hand experience with English narration. All animation was done custom for the project.  I also followed the Upper Arlington Rotary Club of Ohio on their annual visit gathering additional footage of the crew in action.

    This video was presented by the Upper Arlington Rotary Club at the Rotary International Convention demonstrating the initiative’s progress and garnering additional funds to ensure the project could continue.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1491455030450{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-xs”][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″ css=”.vc_custom_1491497604743{padding-top: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMmk7O1WsOU” align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1491515443890{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1491497555624{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;background-color: #383838 !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-10 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-12″ css=”.vc_custom_1491455146581{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][css_animation][/css_animation][/vc_column][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1491497358459{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-10 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_custom_heading text=”Equipment / Stats:” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:28|text_align:left|line_height:45px” google_fonts=”font_family:Exo%3A100%2C100italic%2C200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:800%20bold%20italic%3A800%3Aitalic” css=”.vc_custom_1491454120123{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-2 vc_col-md-2 vc_col-xs-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1491454828904{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” el_class=”statspanel”][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1491496630174{margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-xs-1″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-camera-retro” color=”black” css_animation=”appear” css=”.vc_custom_1472071340395{margin-left: 30px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1491496800089{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-xs-11″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1491516254917{margin-left: 20px !important;}”]
