Our Indian blogger shows inspiring stories and teen discussions to demonstrate that caring is about doing, not simply feeling.

The first documentary features Nicolas Mejia, a cancer survivor/amputee who helps other children get through hard times. Our second documentary reveals how all it took for Kassandra Gonzalves in Massachusetts was to read an article about how foster children usually carry their belongings from house to house in garbage bags. So she organizes groups of kids to make hand-made goodie bags for these foster children. In her summary our blogger encourages other kids to become caring people by doing caring things, and tells them if we want to make a difference in this world, it’s simply up to us.

In addition there is a Discussion Guide which covers not only the text of the DVD, but also gives the leader before and after viewing the DVD questions, writing assignments, and group activities.
