Voice of an African Nation

BY LINDSEY BLACK, CHANDLER, USA - I am thrilled to be a part of this project. Even if I stayed here in the states to work on this film, just knowing I am going to be part of something that will be life changing to the Zambian nation is what it is really about. Just to get to know Jabbes as a person is worth it alone too. I can’t express how grateful I am to say I know Jabbes. He is an awesome guy who is really focused on this project and starting the film industry in the memory of his son, Jabbes Jr.

I do have all sorts of thoughts running through my mind of how it will be over there. You seem to only hear the bad, but I know that there is so much beauty in this country and in the people. I don’t fear something happening with the people … okay, I will be blunt … like sexual attacks ... BUT I do fear creepy bugs that are lugging around, who knows what kind of disease. But that is why I spent a lot of money to have those preventative vaccines taken. Oh and let me tell you, I felt like I was literally shot in the arms. I had to resort to painkillers just so I could lift my arms without wincing. Even more than that, I am trying to figure out how I am going to deal with the long flight! My iPod batteries won’t last that long. I guess I will try to sleep so my energy will be ready to give my all day in and day out for the month of being there.
