Rancho Mirage councilman Scott Hines weeklong homeless journey is complete and the students from Matt Hamilton's digital storytelling class who walked and rode the bus and interviewed people along the way with Scott in morning and afternoon shifts have logged all their footage, but the lessons learned will live on forever in all their lives.
Revealed in the over 30 hours of footage that will be turned into a documentary by the students are several lessons: the homeless and the hungry among us take care of their hungry brethern in shelters, in the homeless camps hidden away in our Valley, in the parking lot of fast food restuarants; organizations like the FIND Food Bank are the lifeline for thousands of hungry people in our valley; and, finally, there for the grace of God and the ability to make our rent or monthly mortgage payments, go you and I.
You can hear the life lessons CCHS students learned in this report aired on KPSP Local2 Friday night, April 8, 2011.
