Caring Causes: StoryCorps

StoryCorps is America's largest oral history project. To celebrate both Back-to-School month and National Hispanic Heritage they've released a brand new animated short—Facundo the Great! It's a spirited childhood story perfect for kicking-off the month ahead!

Ramon "Chunky" Sanchez was raised in a small farming community in southern California in the 1950s. As was common practice at that time, teachers at his local elementary school Anglicized the Mexican American students' names.  Here, Chunky remembers a new classmate who proved to be the exception to the rule.

They are looking to fund our first full-length animation special for TV. If you enjoyed Facundo the Great and would like to see other great stories like this come to life, share this great short and make your pledge today!  http://storycorps.org/kickstarter
