'finding saint therese'

I've been wanting to post this for awhile now, and just figured out how to do it...

This is the video -- "Finding Saint Therese"-- I made for ND Vision '04 about my experience as a "Called to Witness" delegate to Rwanda with Catholic Relief Services. (ND Vision, by the way, is an awesome summer program at Notre Dame for high school students based on the lives of a few of my favorite people--> please check this program out if you are/know/love any teenagers!)

I knew before going to Rwanda in September '03 that I wanted to make a video about my experience to share the following summer at ND Vision, but it wasn't until the night before I was to share for the first time with about 200 high school students and 50 mentors in faith that it all came out. Literally. I started around 10pm (after a long day at Vision) and finished as the birds were chirping and the sun was coming up.

Danielle Rose and Michael Downs were the first to see it the next day when we did a test run in Debartolo Hall. It's hard to believe that was almost 5 years ago...
