Los Angeles based American Hope Charities selected The Grauer School as a subject in a recent documentary film depicting the Southern California visit of Apostle Alex Mitalia, who is both a religious Leader and Statesman from Uganda, Africa. He operates a school and orphanage in Uganda that supports over 2,000 children and provides comprehensive education from preschool through high school. Apostle Mitalia encourages high school graduates to create microenterprises for those students who cannot enter public universities (there are 5,000 applicants for each scholarship available).

The film focuses on Apostle Mitalia’s life, including the school, and his efforts to protect the Ugandan environment. The Grauer School was selected to participate in the film as a leading example of sustainable practices in Southern California, as well as an exemplary educational environment and for it’s international work focused on fostering humanitarian outreach among it’s students. The film shoot took place on the campus of the Grauer School in Encinitas, which includes a 3-acre natural habitat.
