"A Day in the Life...."

Here is a picture that made my day. I think I may have mentioned on here before, how Tracey and I spent the last 8 months working hard on a DVD of Zambia footage that we took last May. The main project was a 20 minute documentary entitled "A Day in the Life of a Zambian Orphan." The orphan that we focused on was Nicholas Mubamba, who is sitting in the middle of the picture in the red shirt. We finally sent the finished copy to Zambia few weeks ago. This photo is of the main children who feature in the movie, watching themselves on the DVD for the first time! These kids barely ever look in mirrors, and hardly see photographs, and so to see themselves moving around on the screen is, as you can see, highly entertaining!! (They are sitting with John and Priya, who head up the orphan program at Isubilo.) Suddenly, all those countless hours of video editing, losing and corrupting files, and fighting with the computer were all worth it, just for the look on their faces. Priceless.

PS: I just wanted to to say how much I appreciate the people who read this blog and leave encouraging comments. I really am encouraged! Thank you for taking the time to do that, especially when I write something so long..;) It's such a blessing, and I especially love hearing from Capernwray people on here!
