Nomads #2

The last few weeks have been busy with work, play, and filming. Polly Green has returned to make her next video about the project here in Uganda. She made her film “Nomads” about 3 years ago, just when the clinic was opening. Now she is here working on a follow-up film and a little promo/fundraising video for us. It has been good fun, but always a little interesting to have a camera follow us wherever we go. Fortunately, I am just the sidekick, which makes me happy. Jessie, Polly, and I have been having lots of fun though; we have had plenty of net sales and family planning sessions, kayaking adventures, and dance parties. We have been trying to cram everything in to get those shots that Polly needs. We went down to Kalagala for a park and huck session and spent a little time at the Special before the low water started. Hopefully some of the footage turned out. I think Francis has been enjoying the camera as well (i.e. jumping on the roof of the car with the loud speaker before a net sale, or emphasizing the condom demonstration with the black dildo at the family planning sessions). I never thought I would become a stunt devil but who knew! Hopefully Polly has what she needs.
