Giving Back in Madison, WI

April 24, 2017, in Videos > Short Film, by

This short video, produced by the Baha’is of the United States, tells the story of Mitch Akutsu. Mitch is a young professional who moved to Madison, Wisconsin (USA) for work. Alongside other young adults, Mitch began serving as a junior youth animator, which fostered a strong sense of community for Mitch in his new hometown. 

For more videos produced by the Baha’is of the United States, subscribe to their YouTube channel. There you’ll find short documentary videos about activities occurring across the country that put spiritual ideas into practice and you’ll also find historical information about the Baha’i Faith (such as this great short video called Roots of the Baha’i Faith: The Bab and Baha’u’llah).
