Hello Doc film makers!
We are making a film about the building of a community radio station and Cameroon, West Africa. We are also building the radio station! - The radio station will be in an area that has no running water, electricity, schools or hospitals (it will run on Solar power). I am working with this amazing man, Issa Nyaphaga, who was persecuted for his political cartoons there years ago, now he does development projects in his village like bringing wheelchairs, drilling wells, etc. He is a political cartoonist and a wild artist. His org is www.hitip.org. We got a seed grant from National Geographic to make our first trip over there, but we need funds to make the project happen!
If you could help donate and/or spread the word I would really appreciate it - that's why they call it crowd funding, it takes a crowd to make it happen! here is the link - we have less than 2 weeks to go!
