Program Notes
This week's movie review was of Like Stars on Earth”. An exceptional story about a dyslexic child. It was especially interesting to hear the kids review of this, because my brother is dyslexic. When his condition was first discovered they didn't have a word for it. They wanted to institutionalize him. So this is especially personal for me. He runs JD Solar Solutions, building us green future and sponsors Upendo.
