Sanjeevani Booti collects Videos
The use of existing videos is an inexpensive way to get fresh teachers into a classroom and a convenient way to attract people who want to learn some way other than reading. The biggest problem with videos is that they are not easily translated and are relatively difficult to produce. Sanjeevani Booti is currently seeking new videos, especially short ones with with minimal technical language. Anyone who knows of such videos should contact us.

Sugar Baby Love,
Baby Baby, and
Love Story, all directed by Wilfred Brimo for AIDES.org
These three films – targeted at gay males, straight females, and straight males, respectively – are part of a French ad campaign to encourage people to use condoms during sex, whatever other choices they may make. These cheerful CG cartoons are backed by American bubblegum pop music and are sure to recognized for showing condoms and suggesting sex practices, but they might be risque for general audiences. Sanjeevani Booti’s educators would love to have something like these in spirit but targeted to Indian culture.
The above links are to various individuals’ low-resolution copies of the original films. Anyone who has need of high-resolution copies of these works is welcome to download them here:
