I would like to use these
next couple of blog posts as not only a memoir for me but also as a guide for
future travelers to the regions that we went to. I also hope to inspire
those on the couch reading to take the big leap and JUST DO IT: TRAVEL. The memories you make are worth the jump!
Although I was only on the
road for two weeks, it was a great reminder that traveling is not easy. It requires serious patience, flexibility, street
smarts, and a good sense of humor. Most importantly, i...

Lycee Molyko’s club class is
getting small in numbers but those who are present are always working hard. First
we reviewed the responsibilities of actors/actresses and filmers as well as
brainstormed ‘tips’ for the two. For example, the actor needs to speak loud and
clearly while the filmer needs to
keep the camera steady. I asked for some more ideas, Etone Veronica had a great
idea that I hadn’t thought of: “The person filming needs to make sure he doesn’t
cough or sneeze becaus...

YAN was busy this week with a class or meeting every single day....
Monday I went on the Lycee campus to prepare the computers for editing later in the week. YAN will be using Windows Movie Maker. I met with Mr. Muluah who also works in the lab YAN uses and he told me he would add the program to all computers since it was only running on two of them.
Because there were no lights the very last Wednesday class (April 2nd) I was unable to print the homework I had made for the Advanced YAN student...

Students of Lycee Molyko enjoying the "chop" or food.
80% of the students had
completed all of their homework which was for the club: to hand in their
letters to the people they wanted to interview and finish their storyboards
then for the advanced class: complete their interviews.

Buea Town, Unemployment and Child Abuse from Lycee had not been able to turn in

This week is the last week
before the students have their “Easter Break” or in other words, the break
between the second and third term.
On Monday I was scheduled to
meet with the High Birth Rate group at the cyber in Buea Town. They are the
only group this year who has decided not to do an interview but instead film
themselves discussing the topic in depth. To do this, they needed to do a lot
more research so that they were able to discuss for a decent length of ...

For both of our club
classes last week, one at BGS Molyko and the other at GHS Buea Town, we had a special
guest join us. Maddy is on exchange from the United States through a study
abroad program by Antioch University. She is studying at University of Buea for
three months and has chosen to work with YAN until June. This week was her
first of many.
After I introduced her she
mostly observed the class structure, the students and myself. I had her come
with me around to each group t...
