DATA Students Step In Front Of The Camera Wednesday

Digital Storytellers in Matt Hamilton's class at Cathedral City High School were the story instead of capturing the story Wednesday. The Desert Sun newspaper ran a story Wednesday morning about the students following Rancho Mirage councilman Scott Hines' week on the streets as a homeless person. Hines' journey is highlighting the plight of the hungry in our Valley in an attempt to raise awareness as well as money for the FIND Food Bank.

Wednesday afternoon, Anabel Munoz of Palm Springs Univision was in class to ask four Spanish speakers, seniors Lupita Fuentes and Tanya Sanchez and juniors Paola Fernandez and Ayrton Carrazco, about their experiences filming Hines as he makes his way around the Valley. This story will air tonight at 6 p.m. and again at 11 p.m. on Univision Palm Springs.

Thirty students are involved in the project that documents Hines' travels as well as the people in shelters and food pantries that he meets during the week.

Hines' journey will culminate Friday at KPSP Local2 during that station's telethon for hunger.
