50th Anniversary DVD

In early February of this year, I was asked to join a committee of volunteers and staff that would be organizing the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Peace Corps. Every Peace Corps country around the world received around $5000 each, to spend in a manner of their own choosing to commemorate the big anniversary. So being a part our Peace Corps Vanuatu committee, I proposed we make a DVD using local artists to promote the work of volunteers within the country.

Working with a local friend that is a cameraman, we arranged interviews in numerous villages, collected photos and videos from volunteers all over the islands, paid for local bands to record songs at studios in town and then shot their music videos. So I have been very busy the past few weeks putting in the final touches, editing into the late nights to make sure we were ready for the 4th of July launch date...

Anyhow, we will be posting the entire video on YouTube throughout the next few weeks. Here are the links for the first four segments for your viewing pleasure...
