So last week was one of the craziest of my life. From around 4 on Sunday to the end of the day on Tuesday I had been running non-stop. I was a volunteer for the Uganda Lobby Day and Symposium from this past Sunday night to Tuesday. I originally was supposed to be volunteering for World Vision, just doing whatever they needed me to do. However, after talking to some people me and Matt became the "official" videographers for World Vision. Don't ask me how we pulled that, I'm not really even sure. Anyways, we got put in charge of documenting the whole event and are going to make a documentary for World Vision. Crazy I know...
I got to interview a lot of interesting people including the head of advocacy for World Vision, Jason from Invisible Children, and a man who grew up in Northern Uganda. On Tuesday we went to a bunch of different Senate and Representative Offices to film students advocating. It was really cool to see the number of people that came out to talk to Congress. I think the people in Washington were pleasently surprised by the passion and dedication of people to Northern Uganda.
I think I got about 7 1/2 hours of sleep in the 3 days so I was exausted by the end of Tuesday. It was a great experience non the less and I hope to be able to do it again. Maybe World Vision will even let me video tape them again...who knows, anything is possible.
Peace and love.
