My November trip was to take the BYU film crew to make the documentary. It was a lot of fun. We installed a merry-go-round at the rural school of Katapor, and visited the four other rural public schools (leaving Essam out of the picture because of how unpredictably rainy it was and how Essam was three hours away).
The film crew was delightful, and apart from a few small things (the focus child being too shy to talk to the camera, the van rental ending up being more expensive than budgeted for, and typical time issues), things went really well! We spent most of our time in the rural villages, and one day at the shop. We also took them to Cape Coast to see El Mina and do the canopy walk at Kakum.
It has aired several times on BYU-TV, even between general conference sessions! Good news for the NGO - and helped raise a bit of money too.
It was kind of weird watching it - it seemed so exotic that I almost forgot I was there watching all the filming and lived there for six months!
