Designed originally to run for a season exclusively on our YouTube channel, it promises to be a show like no other. It is to become the primary platform for information dissemination on all aspects of this initiative.
Films
In order to appreciate the peculiarity of a child's worldview, his or her aspirations and challenges, stories are needed to provide a balanced understanding. To this end, Child Spark Initiative, Inc. in conjunction with Topido Entertainment & Media Company, is producing a series of documentaries and short films. We are working with individuals and entrepreneurs who are taking advantage of this special aspect of our work and the first in the series titled "Burdened Hope" is slated for release in Summer, 2020.
