Iranian Philanthropy - Yavari Building Schools in Rural Areas

Yavari is an Iranian based philanthropic organization that has built hundreds of schools in rural Iran. The members are successful business people who care about their community foremost. The following is a short video clip I made based on a short trip I made with the group to visit a rural area east of Shiraz, Iran. The purpose of the visit was to meet with the villagers,their administration and the children - to discuss the building of a school for girls there. The school has yet to be built as it still waits development and approval from govt partners. I still smile when I watch this.
