Getting to Know the Real Africa
BY JARED MOSCHCAU, MESA, ARIZONA, USA - I am very excited about working with everyone on this film. I haven't been able to make it to the last couple of meetings because of work priorities. I feel very fustrated about not being able to put 100% toward this project because of the time consumption of travel time and work. But once in Zambia I will be able to put out 110% to what needs to be done.
This is such a new experience for me because I have never left the country before and now I'm going to Zambia. I feel that I should be worried or nervous about what might happen while we are there, but I'm not. Especially since I recently have watched SAHARA and LORD OF WAR with corrupt governments, but Cyndi has explained that a lot of the African countries are civil countries.
At the next few meetings we will be having classes about what we are wanting to accomplish and how to fix what needs to be fixed. I always look foward to these types of classes, because I always learn something that makes me better. Also I'm looking foward to learning about what we need to wear when we are in the villages, how we should act and what we can say around certain people.
I'm very thankful I am part of the team and am looking forward to helping obtain the goals of the project. I'm looking forward to getting to know the "real" Africa. Not just the Africa on the news or in the movies.
