Jose´s AMAZING Project and the Huao School

I had to take some short and wonderfully ¨me¨ clips out of pure and nervous excitement ...

:)))

Jose explaining the documentary project to the class.....

The project involves introducing themselves and their families and taking a video camera around with them thus documenting their daily lives. The seven project participants will act as  naturalist guides giving both the Huao name and Spanish name for all they encounter. 

Note: we used my little camera to film these clips...should have reminded our lovely cameraman that I´m not technologically advanced enough to rotate the video clips....but here ya go just for proof´s sake. ;)

Talking about where I´m from and working with the Charter kids in the 

GL Global and Environmental Academy.

Discussing our projects concerning stewardship and being a responsible/ethical steward. 

(guardiano = guardian = steward....no literal translation for steward in Spanish)

As we had anticipated the class was quite shy and quiet, however, you could tell their gears were

crankin´ away upstairs....faces illuminating with understanding and comprehension as little lightbulbs went off in their beautiful, jungle brains. And friends, let me tell you....that feeling, that moment....is what it´s all about. Knowledge, learning, awareness.....yes, indeed. :)

Jose stayed two weeks longer and has been back and forth spending the bulk of his time in the community continuing to organize the project and get the guides started with their intro´s and first segments......I got a sneak peak and hands down is some of the most amazing footage I´ve ever seen. 

Hope you´ve enjoyed and are remembering to breathe deeply and play outside!! Namaste :)
