About the Making of this Video...

This video was inspired by the work of Lucia DeVries and others, who have started to organize health camps and other projects in order to help the Nepali Brick Kiln Donkey, as well as other workers in the pits - underage children. These folks are pioneering animal welfare where it dared not go before: into many of the over 500 brick kilns seen belching black smoke throughout the Kathmandu Nepal.

In addition to these health camps, staffed 100% by volunteers from the community, several organizations are helping animalNEPAL establish a formal outreach program for these animals in need. This outreach program, once funded, will include a pharmacy that provides medicine to kiln owners at reduced cost, as well as a Donkey Refuge Center that will nurse discarded kiln donkeys back to health.

This video was produced and then donated by the kind folks at Phoenix Studios Nepal, at no cost to animalNEPAL. We thank them for their hard work, and encourage all in need of multimedia production and recordings to call these folks when planning any audio or video project.
