Learn about ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty), an amazing non-profit organization that brings arts education and art therapy to kids living in poverty. In this short two-part documentary filmed and edited by Broadway actor David Turner, children from Port Elizabeth, South Africa go to Johannesburg for the first time to see theatre (RENT, The Lion King) and visit the Apartheid Museum.

This sounds like quite an inspirational and commendable program. In fact, I like this video SO much, I'm going to post it in my blog on MySpace. Thank you for actively making a difference in humanity- and spreading the important message of HIV and AIDS education; to inspire and promote self- confidence in children.
