Wow!
On 12 July, The Sorcerer's Apprentice premiere, hosted by Creative Visions Foundation and generously offered by Disney and the film's director, Jon Turteltaub, raised over $100,000 for the purpose of building a secondary school in Cura Village!
(See footage from the red carpet here: http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-473511)
Community meetings and permitting planning were already underway in Cura, so this influx of funding will make the dream of secondary education a reality for many children who would have otherwise gone without.
Watch this blog, of course, for ongoing updates about the progress of the school, as well as the other projects-in-progress!
