The newbie jumps right in

Hi Everyone-

Having just joined the crew here 3 days ago in Kampala, its been quite exciting trying to play "catch up". Today, Noah Gordon and I hit to the streets and began shooting some B-roll footage while Nicki and Stephanie began assembling some footage. In route we met up with a 15 yr old boy named Wasswa who was eager to show us the way to the market place. There, we captured some great footage of some wheelers and dealers and then made our way to the roof of the Sheraton hotel where we filmed the beatufiul Kampala cityscapes. This evening we were back at the machines editing away. During our break for dinner, Noah and I had a mini African jam session. I guess I should have mentioned that we picked up some instruments along the way. Anyway, tomorrow Bill, Nicki, Stephanie and I are going to make our way up to Gulu to begin scouting the area. Noah, Gordon and the Middlebury students will meet us up there on Tues.

Peace and love to everyone at home,

Todd
