Kenya dreaming - FilmConvert

This is a small snippet of a later to be released 19 minute Documentary that wasn't meant to be released to the public. It was just for everyone involved in the effort. In fact, I was a little embarrassed about my lack of contribution to the Missionary effort. All I was doing was catching the wonderful work that these hard working doctors and nurses were doing. These guys literally flew over to Kenya on there own pocket, offered their professional services for free and even donated medical supplies,

When one of the Doctors saw me editing the short clip that represented our time over there, he almost broke down with emotion. He told me that he's been with the mission for 4 yrs now but his wife, his family, his friends have only seen photos. They've never had the opportunity to really feel what it was like down on the ground. And with that, I finally felt just how worthwhile my contribution really was.

For the last 4 yrs, every year, Alabaster has been going back to offer medical aid to a small rural community Endonyolasho, in Kenya a couple of miles off the Tanzanian border.

This year they launched a First Aid Clinic and celebrated the bright future of their community. The clinic will assist and help the lives of 7,000 Maasai men, women and children in Endonyolasho which hasn’t had rain for more than 3 years now. Without the clinic, people in this community must walk seven hours to find care at the nearest dispensary, or a further 15 hours to the nearest hospital.

With their collaborative efforts, there is finally a chance that the area may construct a Well, which will restore life to this beautifully stunning but harsh arid environment to which the people of Endonyolasho live.

When editing, the colors simply didn't quite recreate what it felt like to actually be there in that harsh red environment. So you can Imagine how ecstatic I was when Film Convert brought the colors back to life. Thi
