They seem to be quite alive.
And I was actually pitched that doc idea by an old friend of mine about a month ago. Great minds think alike I guess.

Interesting string. I just returned from filming in Molo Kenya a couple weeks ago. When I was there I called my Mom - she was relieved to get the call (my cell didn't work there) - she heard about this plane crash and thought it might have been me.
Also grinner - I'm making a doc on International Volunteering. I was there a month at the Chazon Children's Centre - everyone involved with the project (including myself) is doing so on a "volunteer basis". I'm creating a brand and a website for Chazon as well as shoot/direct/write/edit the film - all proceeds will go to the Chazon/Watoto Wa Baraka/Melon/Amani Baby Cottage - orphanages. In addition to this work I'm also taking on "fund raising" to buy an old unoccupied hotel in Molo, it has 50 rooms and we need to raise $100,000 - how did you raise the 20 million? I would really appreciate any advice, as I have never done this sort of work before. Also the project you will be volunteering for sounds awesome! I'd love to come and shoot there for my film - can you share any details? Molo Kenya was hard hit by the tribal clashes and the HIV/AIDS situation; really hope to hear from you! The hotel will get 100 plus street kids safe sheltor education and food! Thanks, Daniel Brevick

I'm currently building a site for the Chazon group - we got there logo completed so I launched a quick blog so they'd have some presence on the web. It's ChazonChildrenCentre.blogspot.com
It was a great experience! Life changing. I hope to go back many times. You can contact Lucy directly at chazonchildrencentre@yahoo.com. There are third party groups out there too, they will basically charge you a lot of money and hook you up with a group like this one - but then the group itself gets little to nothng and they really need the support. If you want more details feel free to contact me at duckfeet13@gmail.com
