Yes, good advice. Traveling abroad always opens the mind to the economic variability so present in our world. Sometimes here in the United States it may be easy to forget that there are many others with much, much less.

Your film helps to increase awareness – thank you so much!

Water greetings!

So I can say the film does a pretty good job at covering Uganda’s problems – it misses a few, and got some details a little wrong, but hey it’s a positive contribution.

I was really amazed and satisfied by going there. I had been worried that someone with as much theoretical background as myself could not offer practical advise, but when I was there, it just flowed. I highly recommend people given even a month or so of their time to visit water-challenged communities and share ideas, particularly if the places are technologically challenged as well.
