The premise: flying to Bolivia to work on a US AID project. June 7- August 15-- will be placed in unknown location in county-- could be swampy tropics with toucans and alligators or Andes highlands with vast expanses of greenery and guanaco (they are like llamas).

The job, as I understand it: making mini-educative documentaries on "environmentally sustainable practices" going on in Bolivia.
Step 1: find people not causing deforestation and massive toxic mining. This should be easy as generally it is US companies doing this dirty work.
Step 2: film said people. be sure to get lots of cooperation, sunshine, smiles, etc on camera. maybe some old people and kids. multi-generational really tugs at the heartstrings.
Step 3: interview some peeps explaining how they are living sustainably. follow them through their daily routines with camera.
Step 4: edit this footage into a coherent, motivating piece of work that inspires communities to adopt the amazing practices of their fellow citizens.
Step 5: arrange viewings of aforementioned movies in local communities. find someone to translate from spanish into local tongues?

My packing list:
sunscreen. tent. computer. external hard drive. lots of books (please email me your recommendations). spanish dictionary. malaria drugs (the only legal trip left). passport. underwear. sandals. soap. leatherman. water filter. more tba.

wanna hear the official lingo? it's here.
