“My time with PfP was an unforgettable and inspiring experience. I have walked away with new skills to my name, but also a greater understanding of how to view a “whole picture” in order to substantially change lives.“

“I jumped at the chance to join Power for the People on their field trip, to document these donor projects. It is exciting to be involved with this organisation at the start of their operations and I believe that short films are the very best way of connecting with people who want to help.”
