Please meet Isack! As Charles already explained, Isack is amaaaazing. We met him last year in Kigoma and we all agreed that Isack is to be the next president of Tanzania! Isack has been traveling with the movie he made last year (often over 90 kilometers from Kigoma) to villages where many refugees are learning from him. He presents workshops on everything from HIV/AIDS to environmental degradation. He has been asked to attend the Jane Goodall Institute Youth Summit in Florida in April. It will be his first time out of Tanzania! We are making a short film about the Roots & Shoots programs and how the digital arts programs can come together to affect change in local communities. Isack has done this and is finding great results. Charles will post Isack’s short film on the blog when it is finished. Here is the first part of Isack's blog, he’ll add more tonight.
Hi!
This is Isack now. This is the first time for me to write a blog. Since I joined with Erik, Andy, Charles and Jody everything is going well. I’m free to ask any technical advice if I find any problems during my work. The important thing that I learned about them is that they are friendly. Everyone…every student loves them.
I’m very happy to work with them and now I have a confidence about everything that I do. I hope during the Jane Goodall Summit in the U.S. that people coming to it can get many things from me. I will prepare a short movie which shows how The Pearson Foundation helps Roots & Shoots members to make movies about different problems which face the community…example: environmental problems, water pollution, land pollution, etc. I’m sure if people can watch these movies and follow the advice of Roots & Shoots members, soon we are going to make a difference and our world will be a good place for everyone to live. This is what Pearson Foundation and Roots & Shoots are doing.
On October this year I’m going to make movie about war. It will be about how war is a source of poverty and under-development in Africa and in the world. I’m sure I will help people to understand about problems facing people during war. I have the confidence and I believe that I can do that.
I will write more tonight after I help Erik, Andy, Jody, and Charles teach the Roots & Shoots members to make movies.

It was great to read your blog, Isack! You obviously impress everyone with whom you come in contact. Now I can see why. Your desire to make movies about environmental pollution and the problems of war has the potential to make a big difference in the world. Your optimism is contagious. I’m really looking forward to reading your future blogs.
