Voices for Malawi

(L-R) Edward , Chance Gertrude and Finitie

This is one of those times in life where I am truly impressed.  Chance has really taken the ball (so to speak) and run with it.  I will be spending 3 short months in Africa and it appears that …it might not be enough time.  Time goes too [...]

Did you know that once Airline tickets are purchased they are non-refundable?  I didn’t, even though I don’t leave for another 6 months.  So yes, the project is a go (did you have any doubts) and now my biggest challenge is luggage.  The limits and restrictions are mind boggling to co-ordinate from one carrier to [...]

  Well it was brought to my attention that… what if….your main camera failed.  It went south (so to speak) and you didn’t have anything to film with.  Well that was a worry.  So I went out did my research and got this very tiny little Canon Vixia 1080P HD camera – and it is [...]

Finding flights….thought that it would have been easy- but no.  So many choices and different ways to get to the same place – plus the taxes!  OMG!  Seems like they are more than the fair sometimes.   Booking by the end of October here so will let you all know how that is going.

Later in time the family moved to Chibavi township [...]

…well let me tell you a little story first.

Ok so here it is.  I have gone to the “Dark Side”  ( I am an Audio Guy by profession) and bought a Video Camera.  This is what it looks like.

It is a pretty camera with nice BIG newly developed three x 1/2 inch type Exmor™ CMOS sensors.  Each with an effective pixel count [...]

Well it looks like I will be traveling in either October or November of next year. Still so many things to sort out and get. I did however pick up one major component – a very Nice Sony HD pro camera. Fully digital with NO tapes to worry about. Memory is [...]
