Humanitarian Impact pFILMS announced
September 28,
2010
Geneve
Skye’s Humanitarian Impact pFILMS resonate from our core
vision for using media and philanthropy in conjunction with best
business practices to help eradicate instances of poverty,
homelessness, and hunger, as well as a staggering list of
dehumanizing quality-of-life issues evident communities locally
and around the globe.
Through Humanitarian Impact pFILMS our driving force
is to close the gap between those with the know-how and those
with the need. Too often it is the lack of resources and
awareness that prevent viable solutions from reaching those who
need them most. Our communities deserve the best
solutions. When something is working we help expand its
impact.
