Excellent Use of Video in A Personal Fundraising Campaign

 

Robert Thompson, an American musician who lives in China,  went out and bought a water buffalo and presented it to a poor family in China. He documented it on film several versions are available, including a higher quality quicktime -  The Water Buffalo Movie. It is a terrific example of story telling and use of video as tool to support a personal fundraising campaign. 

Hit tip to Donor Power Blog who puts it all into context and summarizes blogosphere reaction, although I first noticed the clip in at the bottem of this post.
