Letter to Ask Permission to Film

Hello,

My name is Hina, and I work at a research think tank called AHFPak. We have recently been working on a project that looks at learning outcomes of children with disabilities. The project aims to build conversation around disability, and to push for greater accessibility, and inclusion. As part of this project, we are working on a video series to make the issue more visible.

For the first video, we are starting a general conversation, and have already filmed at a BHSC school. I am interested to also film at your school, if possible, to show how a special needs school functions, and what that looks like.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this. I am looking to come in for a day, and film children in classes, perhaps focusing also on ramps, and other nodes of access.

Please let me know at your earliest convenience if this is possible. I understand that is it now close to the start of summer vacations, but if your school will remain open for a few days longer, our project would benefit greatly from your cooperation.

best,

Hina
