It is Isack again. First of all, I would like to say thanks to all the people who have written emails to support my ideas. Example: Erik’s Mother! I need your support and advice because nobody is perfect but through your ideas and advice I will be closer! If we want to get development we must join our heads together. We are not supposed to think about our color, our traditions, or anything. I believe that all people are equal. We are living in one house called our world.
I am now moving forward through the digital arts program. At the last training in Kigoma (2007) I was a student. But now I’m a teacher! I am not alone. There are other 2007 Digital Arts participants from Dar es Salaam teaching, too. I like to assist other Roots & Shoots members because Erik told us that we are supposed to teach our friends about how to make movies. Erik now is watching how we are working. He is not teaching like last year, because we are. Andy, Erik, Jody, and Charles give us advice for teaching, but they let us do it our own way. I’m very happy to teach Roots & Shoots members.
If many of us can teach other Roots & Shoots members and friends like what we are doing now with this project, we are going to reach many kids and youths in Tanzania, then all of Africa, and finally all of the world in a few years. In that case many kids and youths will make movies about problems facing people within their communities. Thanks to the Pearson Foundation and Roots & Shoots for selecting us to assist other members about Digital Arts training. It is one stage forward in this amazing world.
Tomorrow we are going to see movies made by Roots & Shoots members. Stay with us on our blog http://www.africaprograms2008.blogspot.com/. I’m sure you will enjoy many things about our Africa Programs, 2008!

It has been wonderful hearing from Isack and seeing the project through his eyes. What a collaborative group you are working with and Erik is always so wonderful about offering advice while being sensitive to what you know, which in my case, is usually not much! Film making is truly an art form, one that I am just beginning to slowly learn myself (iMovie) and it's always wonderful when Art makes people think and motivates them to act, which I'm sure your movies will do.
Here's a neat example of art and it's compelling message about pollution.

Good luck and can't wait to see your movie! I know I'll learn a great deal from watching it. I'm also sharing it with local students in our community.
Best to everyone!
