Broadcast Team

A few weeks ago we had a broadcast crew come through to film some of our projects in Monrovia and into the hinterlands as they like to say in Liberia. I went on the trip up to our project sites in Gbarpolu (a 3 hour drive from Monrovia). We filmed a community harvesting a fish pond, which turned out to be entertaining when the catfish escaped and a group of people decided to rescue it. They jumped into the drainage canal and got a hold of the bottom feeder. We also filmed some watsan, church reconstruction and animal projects. I will never forget the goat farmer who is holding his goat and saying: "Thank you for my goat." He would look away from the camera and he did not smile enough. So they did 10 takes of the poor man who was more confused than his bewildered animal. He did it so many times that 5 year old Felix was saying: "Thank you for the goat!" Somebody give Felix a goat...he's a natural actor (kind of...a bit hard to control, but when he hits his space watch out Spielberg!)
