It's been about a month since I last wrote and a lot has happened. We've been interviewed by the Rochester Institute of Technology's student magazine, the Reporter (Oct. 12 issue). We made the feature article! Very cool. It was an email interview for me, so you have to understand context is derived from my feeble ability to translate thoughts into words. Matto and I met in DC just a couple weeks ago to run through the equipment, logistics, timing, you name it, of this trip. Plus, Matto's friend, John McNeil, interviewed us for an untainted pre-trip perspective. We sent an email to our friends about this documentary, asking for good thoughts to money - so far we've gotten a little of everything! A list of them is on our sponsors page. Thank you all so much. I'm lucky to have such great friends!

This documentary will be made with equipment and situations chosen to accentuate the harsh realities of the slum and the determination of people dedicating their lives to making Mathare better. This will be my first time in Africa, but not my first time in harsh shooting conditions. With the help of our ground support in Mathare and Adam's travel experience, we'll be able to make a documentary that achieves the goals described on this website. We'll continue to update this online journal as this project progresses.
