Dear friends,
We are leaving tomorrow, January 8th. We can't believe after all the research and planning over the last year, the time is finally here. Our team consists of 5 people and although our roles are ever-changing, this is our current focus: Margie Braband-our fearless leader, holding the roles of project developer and travel arrangements; Barbara Joye, film writer and vision holder, Jeremy Vranich and Matt Solida, our outstanding student filmmakers, and Chris Moses, research and record keeping.
We will be visiting the villages of Arusha and Moshi in Tanzania. This is the area at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro where although they rely heavily on tourism from the climbers, there are many poor people whose every day goal is to just put food on the table. Our mission on this trip is to meet and talk with many officials as well as every day citizens to find out more about their water needs and issues and then create a documentary for raising awareness and inspiration.
We have already made many connections here and with the Tanzanian people and have a very full itinerary. This visit has been completely guided by God and spirit, all the way down to the last week. The fact that Margie was able to re-route all our travel- 5 people to a completely different destination, through a different lay-over city -only 7 days before leaving, in order to avoid the sad but scary violence going on in Kenya was a miracle in itself!
We are so excited to be taking our first big step toward our mission and are looking forward to
connecting with and supporting our global community. Thanks for your thoughtful messages
and support. We will post again after our arrival.
It Can Be Done! 0ne step at a time...
