Mission Statement

The purpose of me traveling to Sumbawanga Tanzania is to help communicate the trials and tribulations that the orphans of St. Martin's endure every day of their lives. I will be editing a few various video's in hope that the final outcome will be an effective video that will grab peoples attention and spark people interest not just to help financially, but to also get involved. I will be working side by side with missionaries Mike and Lynn Caraway, West Michigan natives, using film as the source of media that will work to their advanage and benefit their cause in East Africa.

Just uploaded to Facebook a short informational piece to the video I will be shooting at St. Martin's Orphanage  in Tanzania.  It will be on YouTube soon.
