Update for 21/10/2014
21 October 2014Video against poverty has been running for a week and a half and I'm more than 2/3 of the way to my goal of $2600.00. This has been totally unexpected and is a really humbling endorsement of what I'm trying to do. The best thing about it is that I'm now hopeful I'll actually meet the direct costs of this project and get enough money to purchase some equipment or resources for a school or charity. I'm also thinking about sourcing a nice easy-to-use camera, mic and tripod to leave over there for the various organisations to borrow for their projects. Microphones are a particular issue. While some people have quite good cameras in the form of older handycams and cell phones, they don't have any easy way to record decent sound so something which allows them to do this is also something I'm thinking of. If anyone is reading this and has a handycam, bluetooth mic, light tripod or similar which they'd like to donate, contact me (lyn.collie@gmail.com) and I'll let you know if it could be useful.
