Well, my latest flick (not my latest, but at least the latest viewable video... the rest are stuck here, until I can figure out how to get them to the states) made it onto the web, and I thought you all should see it (only if you feel like it). The flick is called "dannyboy" and it made it's way up into one of my favorite little short diddy's. So I'm going to give you the link to view it. After clicking on the link, just click on "dannyboy" and the video will play (don't worry, it won't cost you anything, it plays for free). Danny was our favorite little orphan here in Burundi, and now he is at least temporarily, adopted. Go ahead and leave a comment to let me know if you can see it. My internet connection has been pretty bad lately so nothing is working right especially links, so I want to know if the link is working. Okay, here's the link to the "Dannyboy" video:

About Burundi
Small, poor, densely populated, and landlocked, Burundi lies just south of the Equator in central Africa. Burundi has experienced many of the same devastating conflicts as Rwanda, yet with a fraction of the attention from the international community. Burundi, officially the Republic of Burundi, is a small country in the Great Lakes region of Africa. It is bordered by Rwanda on the north, Tanzania on the south and east, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the west. Although the country is landlocked, much of its western border is adjacent to Lake Tanganyika. The country's modern name is derived from its Bantu language,Kirundi. Geographically isolated, facing population pressures and having sparse resources, Burundi has the lowest GDP per capita in the world arguably making it the poorest country on the planet. It is also one of the most conflict-ridden countries in Africa and in the world. Its small size belies the magnitude of the problems it faces in reconciling the claims of the Tutsi minority with the Hutu majority.Thirteen years of civil war have uprooted and devastated the lives of hundreds of thousands. Burundi ranks 169th on the Human Development Index of 177 ranked countries. One in five of Burundi’s children die before they reach the age of 5. And adult life expectancy is just 51 years. Yet against this backdrop of despair, there are churches and humanitarian agencies playing a pivotal role in Burundi’s recovery.

Your Dannyboy video was amazing. I am going to show it to my kids. Our family has been following your blog ever since we saw your video at church on the food distribution. Wow.
We are praying for you.

Hey...that video looks very familiar...was fun getting the live preview =) Very convicting!
Sethas,
I watched Dannyboy, and then also God and Country. I loved them both. Who was that amazing actress you got for Dannyboy? On a serious note, though, I thought it was moving. I also thought that God and Country was about the best short that I have seen of its type. It walked that line of choosing not to just rip The U.S., but also to call us to what we are meant to be.
Dan
Beautiful, Seth.
