Project Report | Aug 28, 2025
Watch The Neighborhood Storyteller

By Francisco Alcala | Executive Director

Dear Supporters,

While this past quarter has been a quieter one for our project, we want to thank you for continuing to stand with us. Your ongoing support ensures this project remains alive and ready to create long-term impact for refugee girls and communities when the time is right to re-engage fully.

Over the past few months, much of our team’s attention has been devoted to a new initiative (We Name Ourselves) in support of the Dzaleka refugee community in Malawi, but the heart of The Neighborhood Storyteller still beats strong. As a token of appreciation for your continued belief in our work, we would like to offer you exclusive access to stream the film for only $1.50 during the next 2 weeks, special price just for you, instead of the usual $4.99 rental.

Watch the multi-award winning film "The Neighborhood Storyteller" (50 min)
Grab some popcorn and enjoy the film here: Link to Film

You will witness the amazing work of Asmaa as she used reading circles to open up possibilities for teenage girls in the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan. Accompany Asmaa in her amazing journey and experince the joy of seeing the transformation and empowerment of these girls. 

We will love to hear you comments after watching the film.

We’ll return with more updates in the coming months. Until then, thank you for helping amplify voices that matter.

With gratitude,
