quick saludos

I'm about 5 minutes from heading out for two weeks to the campo (the country) where I'll be doing another round two rounds of participatory videos.  First, I'll be south of Managua near Jinotepe, and then I'll be heading for Wiwinak, on the Rio Coco (there was a plane crash here a while back, some of you may remember this).

For now, I want to leave you with a video to show you the type of project that we're going to be working on. This video was edited down from its original version and translated into english. The original can also be found on our youtube channel if you want to watch it in spanish. Here's the link! Enjoy!



Check back in a couple of weeks for some photos and maybe some video.  I look forward to coming back and updating you on how it went!  Please pray that it goes well, that Farid, my assistant for the participatory video projects, really grows into his position even more during these next two weeks.  They will be pretty intense, as the only power will be generator-produced, and the only water will be river water and water we bring in!  And the only place to go to the bathroom will be an outhouse! Come to think of it, please pray for good health as well! I've been very blessed to have had no major problems so far!

I'd also like to just quickly say how nice it was to see so many of you during my last visit to the States and Canada!  More in a couple weeks!
