Pisco Sin Fronteras, Burners Without Borders
Pisco Sin Fronteras is a non-profit organization working toward rebuilding the city of Pisco after an 8.0 Earthquake destroyed the city in 2007. We volunteered with PSF for a month while working on this short documentary. We strongly recommend traveling to Pisco and joining the effort. www.piscosinfronteras.org and www.burnerswithoutborders.org.

This project set a standard for experiential education provided valuable mentoring opportunities for undergraduate students at Eckerd College.
Experiencing Arutam
Filmed and edited by Kelly Schiller and Camilo Plata for the Shuar Community, Fundecoipa, and the Eckerd College volunteers. It was guided and viewed by an Anthropology and Film Class taught by Ashley Spalding.
Our goal was to produce a film that documents the service exchange between Eckerd College students and the Shuar. We intended to highlight the nature of service as a mutual giving and receiving experience for both parties. We hope the film accurately represents the perspectives of both. Due to the student nature of the project and the lack of anthropological credentials, this is not an official "ethnographic film".
