Kibera Exodus

June 3rd, 2010

It has been several weeks now since returning from our documentary shoot in Nairobi, Kenya. It was truly a powerful experience as we spent the week capturing the complex stories of poverty and those who find themselves trapped in this never ending cycle. We had a great team that went with Life In Abundance to help us with production. Early one morning we captured the “exodus” from Kibera. Every morning thousands of people stream out of one of the largest slums in Africa to find work. Many come back empty handed. Over 750,000 people live in Kibera and it is only one of the many large slums in Nairobi. One of our team members, Bob Davidson, wrote some excellent posts on his blog, Wonderlust, that really captured the sense of what it was like to be in the slums. Be sure to read it.

Be In Charge

June 2nd, 2010

Our latest book project is being released. We teamed up again with our strategic partners to publish a new calendar called Be In Charge. It is a fun look at taking charge of your schedule and life with a lot of humor tossed in.  We had everything from Mexican wrestlers to live chickens in the studio for the shoots. We even got to blow a few things up. There is a great micro site with all the fun stuff from the project. Check out BeInChargeofYou.com for the details.
