An amazing little girl who had her cleft lip surgery. People ask me why I volunteer overseas so much.. It takes my eyes off me and allows me to remember what life is all about. When we use what we have been given (whatever that might be) to make a positive change for our world, thats when life make sense.... In a time when the world seems to be imploding with greed, there are certain things that will always remain invaluable..like the smile on this girls face when she realises her life will be changed forever.

Her life has impacted mine as I have hers..but thats whats it all about..both being happier because the miracle of life allowed us to cross one another's paths and leave each other in a better place because we met . Without judgement.

Her lip is still swollen and painful as she is only 24 hours post surgery but the joy in her eyes is unmistakable and makes my heart laugh without measure. I hope it brings the same to you.

See what you can do to help.. Support Operation Smile and help change lives one smile at a time.

The documentary China Blue follows Jasmine, one of many teenagers working at a blue jeans factory, struggling to survive brutal work conditions. Shot clandestinely and without permission from Chinese authorities, China Blue takes a rare and poignant look at the individuals who toil day-to-day to make the clothes we buy. The film remains banned in China.

Watch the clip below, as filmmaker Micha Peled gives some background on China Blue.

Do you ever feel like a victim? Place yourself in someone's tattered shoes -- a prisoner’s shoes. The shoes of a woman who was stolen from her home and thrown behind cold bars.

You are  raped. You become pregnant. And, you give birth to your little helpless child amidst the tumult and fingered accusations of a communist show trial. So far are you now from the warm embraces and happy salutations of a loving family and friends such a life-moment deserves.

You are alone.

Political Prisoners is a unique online memorial and freedom advocacy initiative. As a memorial it hopes to attract the attention, especially of youth, to the need to continue to defend liberty and authentic democracy by learning to identify strains of totalitarianism today. The project accomplishes this by presenting a growing collection of moving testimonials from former "prisoners" who suffered under Stalinism in Eastern Europe

Through the effective use of video and audio stories and personal witness politicalprisoners.eu hopes to inspire a new generation to fight for their inhereted freedoms so that these freedoms, so hard to restore, are never lost again.

One More Girl is a documentary filled with stories of anguish and travesty, futures destroyed, and families reduced to financial ruin by medical costs brought on by a supposedly safe vaccine, Gardasil. The vaccine is designed to prevent Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

Pre-production is in process right now and we are raising funds so that we can begin production this summer with a tentative 2012 release date.
