"After returning from a DDW Journey in August 2011, I wanted to do more for the work DDW is doing with grassroots organizations we encountered in Cambodia and Thailand. It was easy to setup an online donation website through www.firstgiving.com, and then email the website link to friends and family along with photos from our trip. Within weeks I had raised over $1,000 for Discovering Deaf Worlds, further supporting their international advocacy work with Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities around the globe." ~ Meredith Wehrle, Townson MD, October 2011
"Hosting a fundraiser of this nature was easy to coordinate, set up, and facilitate. Everyone that gathered was wide-eyed watching the film; taking in every minute, every image, every piece of information. Afterwards, we had a most lovely and in-depth conversation about DDW's projects, the differing views of deafness in various countries, and what incredible food for thought & soul searching the film was."

"The Discovering Deaf Worlds video about the children in Shuktara was both informational and inspirational. It started a wonderful discussion about deaf communities around the world and sustainable efforts to see Deaf people succeeding world-wide. Thank you Discovering Deaf Worlds for creating this documentary and making it easy to share with my friends and co-workers."

"Witnessing people learn firsthand about DDW and Shuktara was both a humbling and eye-opening experience. I am passionate about my support to both of these organizations because of my direct involvement with them when this film was made in India. If you have any kind of passion to learn about the stories of these kids, then you too can host a successful fundraiser!"

"After months of looking for a worthy cause, we came across DDW and truly believe in what they are doing. Hosting this event was a great honor and easy to do with hands-on support and a SKYPE call during our event from DJ. Raising awareness is only the beginning for this wonderful organization- collectively we can create a ripple effect and support their worthy cause." 
"The event was very simple and successful as people left with their eyes open, their hearts inspired and happy to have donated to a good cause. All I had to do was set the date, time and place, while the movie and the attendees did the rest."
