This is a video of Kirill, my 'grandson' from Belarus. He visits our family each summer; the video was taken at his home in Belarus when he was 10. While his English language skills are still being developed, his appreciation of North American pop music is undeniable.
Personal videos, such as this example, tell a story and can be an effective tool for not-for-profit organizations to connect in a real and meaningful way with their stakeholders.
Nice post Kathy,
ReplyDeleteAside from Kirill's wicked moves the video shows us the importance of that personal connection. While we may not be able to place ourselves in the shoes of the stakeholders for all charities, videos and pictures have the ability to touch all of out hearts!
Personal stories play to the emotions which turns into support for a cause.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I hope you got Belarus's permission to use this video. If not....he'll never know.
