Help Haylie Forman Elevate Voices in Colombia

Hi, everyone! I’m excited to share that I’ve been accepted into Actuality Abroad’s Documentary Outreach program in colombia . This opportunity is a chance for me to learn documentary filmmaking in the field, working alongside locally-led organizations that are making a real impact. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to tell stories that connect people and inspire change—and now, with your support, I have the chance to take my storytelling to a whole new level.

The Documentary Outreach program is about more than technical skills; it’s about using storytelling to elevate voices and causes that often go unheard. I’ll be working with grassroots changemakers in Colombia, helping them share their experiences and perspectives with a global audience. These are community-led organizations deeply invested in social progress—working on issues from sustainable urban development to educational programs for underserved youth. Professional media resources are often out of reach for them, and they rely on storytellers like me to help them spread their message.

Your support is essential in making this experience possible. With your help, I’ll be able to participate in this program, learn from experienced documentary filmmakers, and contribute to important stories that deserve to be seen. By donating, you’re not just helping me grow as a storyteller—you’re playing a direct role in amplifying stories of resilience, innovation, and hope from communities in Colombia.

I’m reaching out to you because I believe in the power of community, and I know that even the smallest contributions add up. Every bit of support brings me closer to this unique opportunity and to sharing stories that can make a difference. If you can contribute, thank you. If you’re able to share this campaign with others who might be interested, thank you, too. Together, we can help bring these stories to light.

With gratitude,

Haylie Forman
