These children were born into misery and would probably die there. Then, one day, things changed. A group of people seemed to care. They came out of nowhere and they showed up every weekend parking on the dirt road, next to the cadavers and burned tires. They'd come and spend a few hours with the children. They'd play games with them, exercise them, sing songs, read stories and help with school work, arts and crafts. Nobody really knew why they did what they did. But it didn't matter, because life was never the same again. For those few hours, every weekend, the children felt loved and not forgotten. Things were good, but then, maybe things were too good. Because one day, those people didn't show up again. Had they stopped caring? No. They had been arrested. They had been imprisoned for educating these children every week. The court said, this constituted "an offense relating to state security"... For more inspiring videos like this one, visit www.doubletake.tv

In our world most people believe that their way, or their religion, race, or nationality is better than that of others. This paradigm of exclusivity, fragmentation and disunity is perpetuated in all of our societal structures. Our education system is one area where competition and the pursuit of success at the expense of others is harnessed. Not so in the town of Little Hampton, England, where Margaret Appa has implemented a method of teaching that is based on mutual support and the belief that we each have unique gems, talents and insights that are not threatening to others but mutually enriching.

A reoccurring theme on our doubletake website has become the importance of holistic education and of loving and raising children. This video uses quotes from many of the world's religions and constitutes a medley of footage from some of our existing doubletake videos. Its title, "Gems of Inestimable Value", is inspired by the quote: "Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures." (Baha'i Writings). This video precedes next month's brand new release, which explores the implications of this very quote in redefining the meaning of education and introduces an exciting and entirely new approach to the theme. So stay tuned!
