Hello friends!

Thanks to everyone who purchased a copy of "Here Lies My Heart - The Fishing Village of El Pardito Island." As some of you may or may not know, in February 2010 I set up a website to sell the documentary film, plus posters and postcards. My plan has been to donate the money raised from these sales back to the fishing village. I am planning to visit El Pardito Island in a few weeks to discuss with the residents how to use the money for projects that can benefit everyone on the island.

The La Paz-based environmental group Niparajá * has agreed to help me facilitate this and I also plan to meet with them to discuss this plan in more detail. Last November, DVD copies were given to three families that live on the island to sell from there. Copies are also available for purchase in La Paz at Mar Y Aventuras and Niparajá.

If you are still interested in buying a DVD or making a donation to the fishing village, now is a great time. It's very easy to go to the website and make a purchase through PayPal or contact me directly. Thanks to all of you who have made a contribution already! It is greatly appreciated and I will keep you posted on what I find out with my upcoming trip to the island.

Warm regards,
Linn Harter
