Welcome to the official website of the Power of One documentary! This site is intended to raise awareness of the film that is being produced about this incredible program in Thailand. Feel free to browse the site, learn about the Power of One program, look at pictures, and make a contribution to support the documentary. Be sure to spread the word about this wonderful program!
Imagine - the opportunity to spend three weeks in Thailand interacting with students from all over the world. Teach Thai students English, visit Buddhist Temples, and help out on an Elephant Sanctuary. All this while being filmed for a documentary that will be recognized internationally.
Meet the film makers, Michael and Shane. Both are students at Chester College of New England in Chester, New Hampshire. They are both looking forward to this incredible experience and independent study for their school. This will be a great opportunity to show the young people of the world working together toward a common goal.

Meet Bank! A Cultural Immersion Program
We are working to sponsor Bank, one of our Thai friends, to come and stay with us for a month at our school. This unique cultural exchange program will be a wonderful experience for Bank and also for our school community. We are seeking donations to cover the airfare for Bank to come to America. All food and lodging is taken care of by the school. Please help us by supporting this great program! Website is here, please send it to your friends!
Power of One Program
We have just returned from Thailand after the Power of One program, and it was quite an incredible experience. We are now back in school and getting organized to start producing our film. We are also undertaking many other projects related to Power of One. Thanks again to all for your help and support.
First Equipment Donation!
We have received our first generous equipment donation! Canadian company Cinevate, Inc. made a generous donation of a lens adapter we had wanted to use with our DVX-100. Because of this donation, we are able to attach a 35mm lens to the camera and limit the depth of field, providing really wonderful images and beautiful interviews for the documentary. Thanks, Cinevate!
