Reach Lesotho is a program designed to educate young people about the challenges being faced in the Kingdom of Lesotho. The twelve selected students will gain a strong understanding of these challenges and then have an opportunity to witness them first hand. Most importantly, while in Lesotho, our students will learn what individuals are doing to overcome challenges. Through their experience, a documentary film will be created and the final production will be used to support the Bracelet of Hope Campaign. We will not only be capturing what we are fighting, but what we are fighting for.

Leading the production crew will be Sheridan College graduate Prionnsias James Murphy. Pronnsias has considerable experience volunteering as a camera operator and editor. He has DVD authoring experience for youth programs as well as student-based projects. Most notably, he has been the leading producer in four short films in the past two years. He has also held the position of casting director in five short films. Recently, one of his films was selected by Sheridan College to be submitted for consideration to the Toronto International Film Festival. Furthermore, a film produced by Prionnsias was also in the 2009 EnRoute Film Festival.

Prionnsias is a graduate of Centennial Collegiate Vocational Institute and embodies the Guelph community’s character of compassion. For more information regarding the production, you can contact Prionnsias via e-mail by clicking here.
