After a week-long vacation with my brother in Uganda and the Nyungwe rainforest (click on the "Rwanda pictures" window on the right hand side to see a photo album of our travels), I returned to work and caught the feverish energy of the Millennium Village Project office as they scrambled to finish end-of-year reports, and action plans for 2009.
In the past few days, I produced two videos. The first is three and a half minutes long and has been successfully posted to YouTube. This piece was by request of MVP's Evaluation and Documentation Coordinator, Schadrack, who asked me to put together a minute-long video showing effects of a drought that plagued Mayange last year, and presented many challenges to the project's programs. He wanted something to attach to his annual report e-mail that could tell the story visually, in addition to his written report.
The second video is 13 minutes long and tells the story of the construction and groundbreaking ceremony of Miracle Corners of the World (MCW), the organization for which my roommates Amir and Anna are working. I have split the video into two parts for YouTube, and the first part has been uploading for over 20 hours now! The file is only 50 MB, and I am slightly frustrated at my modem's inability to upload files at a reasonable rate. However, I remain amazed that I can get internet access at all out where I am living.
More to come soon...
