Can you imagine traveling to the other side of the world, feeding and bathing elephants, learning and working with Thai students, and having the experience of a lifetime? If you can’t, this film will give you a glimpse of what that might be like.

On December 27th, 2007, ten American students, ten Thai students, and twenty Mentors came together in Thailand for the Power of One program. Michael and Shane documented their travels, service learning, and cultural activities, as well as interviewed each student about their experiences during the program. We wish to communicate to the world that good things do happen and that programs like this should be supported for the future of our planet.
