My Nonprofit Reviews

I have used the film "Lorenzo's Oil" as a teaching tool in my biology and Anatomy & Physiology classes for years. The Myelin project has been a wonderful supporter by supplying teaching resources as well as current information on ALD and as other de-mylenation disorders. We use the materials to study genetic disorders, current research in biology and bioethics in the classroom. My follow-up written assignments correspond beautifully with the new Common Core writing standards. My students are reached at so many different levels with this type of instruction. A BIG "thank you" to Lorenzo, Augusto Micheala and so many others for sharing their story with the world. Support, both financial and educational, allow this message to be shared.

PS: My original and favorite use of the film is in teaching the REAL scientific method to my students. Thank you Augusto for teaching people everywhere to never stop asking questions. Science is the search for answers to questions about nature.
