For all of my San Francisco friends, I have an interesting non-profit that I'd like to tell you about. My good friend, Devora, is the Director of the wonderful group, BayKids. It is a really cool organization that helps children in various childrens' hospitals through filmmaking.
From their website:
"BayKids empowers children facing medical challenges to express themselves and find joy through the art of filmmaking."
Baykids works with children when they are staying in various hospitals for treatment of their illnesses. Through the school programs in each hospital, Baykids works with these kids, of all ages, create stories and films...sometimes about their illnesses and sometimes just to tell fun stories. I am about the least artistic and creative person, so I am so impressed by these children, the organization and the numerous volunteers that help bring these films to life.
If you're one of those creative San Franciso folk, check out Baykids. They are touching the lives of children in one of the most creative and skillful ways imaginable.
