 Dear
Shine
Supporters,
 We've got big news to share with you. But first, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of Shine Global's efforts to end child exploitation and abuse. Because of supporters like you, our award-winning documentary INOCENTE has made a tremendous impact on national advocacy organizations, youth workers, and kids themselves. Here are a few of their comments: Thomas A. Saenz, President and General Counsel, Mexican American Legal Defense & Educational Fund: "An extraordinary film, raising at once issues of arts education, homelessness, family violence, and immigration reform through its focus on a young woman with an amazingly compelling story... The film will trigger questions and promote progress on some critical social issues facing our nation" Carolina del Busto, Univision News: “Inocente is redefining the face of homelessness in America.” Carrie, a teacher in Colorado Springs: "My students were inspired by Inocente's beautiful art and enduring optimism. Two of the students are Hispanic and are dealing with very real fears of being deported. These at-risk kids... are donating their work to the local teen homeless shelter after using them to raise awareness for homelessness during November, National Homeless Awareness Month."  Student art work inspired by INOCENTE Marisa, Facebook Follower: "Powerful! The honesty of this beautiful young woman has caused me to want to better the world around me. Thank you for doing this project." Only through your help are we able to produce films that make a difference in the lives of children like Inocente and we thank you for your continued support. We hope that you will remain committed to helping us give voice to children who might otherwise go unheard. Thank you in advance for your continued support for the children of Shine.
