A Simple Smile
Many years ago, a man named Han Lin stood the Roy H. Park School of Communications hallway by a garbage can with a smile. With one handshake my life changed forever.
Today I type at a computer five minutes from Burma, his homeland, to honor his life at late stage four lung cancer. I’ve got a big smile on my face now with a great team working with me to generate a documentary that truly articulates the vision of a teacher who expects more for the children of Burma.
Today, I took a walk down a road towards Mae Sot with sounds echoing chirping birds, motorcycles, and a cool breeze. Along that road I shook hands with a young child shining with joy. It was wonderful to share this exchange even though there was a cultural and generational gap between us.
The youth carry so much potential inside their hearts and developing minds. My hope with this episode, Honoring Home, is that we can inspire opportunities that help every child beyond the limitless imagination.
Thank you all for your support with this film, I will do my best to bring these dreams into a reality.
