Some of you may have heard about the floods in Kenya recently. We’ve been working in Kenya for quite a while, helping to offset the devastating effects of post-election violence and drought that caused massive crop (and of course food) shortages all over the country. When the floods hit, we turned our attention to those hardest hit and most easily forgotten. Our search (conducted by the hard-working AOET Kenya staff, to whom we are greatly indebted) led us to the Pokot region in North Western Kenya. We mobilized food, clothing and other much needed relief stock to the people of Pokot, and Danstone returned with video tape of the distribution. We had lent him our MiniDV camera to film the work AOET and HFC is doing there, and when he delivered the tapes just before we left for the US, I was excited to view the tape and report on what we’re doing in Kenya. I let Danstone keep the camera so he could continue to film the ongoing work and now I have no way of importing the video! I’m desperately seeking gear to help post this footage.
If anyone has equipment to help me import this footage, I’d be very grateful. We would like to keep the equipment for future use, but we’ll gladly accept a loan as well! =) Click the “Contact link” at the top of the page or click here to contact us. Thanks everyone!!!
Update: Keith Parsons and Jeff Henbest have volunteered to donate cameras! Thank you guys!
