I am a student at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. A few months ago, I attended a screening of "Bouncing Cats." I happen to be a dancer, and the documentary blew my mind away. Although the movie focuses Breakdance Project Uganda, I was more intrigued by the organization H.E.A.L.S. I believe that the people involved are doing an amazing job, helping children and giving them a somewhat normal life in a rough world. After seeing the film, I wanted to do something to help H.E.A.L.S. Currently, I am producing an event called "The Urban Line Project" at Loyola Marymount University which focuses on hip hop/urban fashion where underground brands come together and present their work. It basically is a fashion show. I would like to work together to inform others of this organization by having a representative talk about H.E.A.L.S. or showing a video. I am not sure who to contact or who can help me get H.E.A.L.S involved in the event. Net proceeds from the door will be happily donated to H.E.A.L.S. If you can direct me to someone I can talk to, I would greatly appreciate it. I really want to help in any way I can. Sincerely, Anna Ponce My name is Anna Ponce.
