Here's a great story in ChiTown Daily News about a social worker at Medill who helped her students create a documentary about the closing of their school. The students want their voices and their pain to be heard. Even though they know that the documentary will not stop CPS from closing their school, they hope that telling their story might make a difference for other students.

They need help finishing the film and getting it distributed. This sounds like a worthy cause, no?

Here's how you can help, according to Project Focus executive director Daniel Yang:

"Any donations that you could offer would be really appreciated. They would go to finishing the documentary, packaging and printing copies, and distributing them to the parents and students of Medill elementary, in addition to key policymakers. All donations made via paypal from the medillmatters website, automatically references the project so that the donations are not confused with general donations to project focus: on the paypal website, it reads "medill matters, reference: project donations."

"In addition to financial donations, you can help support the project by encouraging your network to vote for the article at the http://www.windycitizen.com/.

The more votes the article accumulates, the higher on the list you'll find it."
