The idea to launch a Kickstarter campaign was a couple of months back but now it has actually launched it feels surreal but of course there is a lot more work to do after it has launched because we need as many people as possible to know about it.
The past couple of days I have been contacting bloggers from around the world, telling them why I feel they should share our journey with their network, I don't think I could count how many I have contacted... You know, I didn't ever realise how difficult it would be to get people to feel the same way as you do about your concerns, but it really is a serious challenge! A challenge that I am taking head on. Hours and hours of typing pitches to people that I don't know, hoping that it will click with them in a similar but completely different way to how I clicked in Larabanga all those months ago.
So when I go back to Larabanga late November, apart from being absolutely over the moon to see the people who have made me, I will be documenting their lives over a two month period- maybe then, this will be the point when my dreams for Larabanga also become the dreams of other people around the world.
I have always wanted to be a part of a documentary but the idea of just being told where you are going to go and what you are going to talk about, doesn't appeal to me. I have to discover the hidden gems myself because then it really is a completely unique insight. I have never done this before so it will be a definite new experience, But I have all of the help and resources that I need, a video camera that a friend is kindly letting me use and of course a community full of enthusiastic, camera loving people!
The proceeds from the Kickstarter will help to build the Education Centre, a place were the disadvantaged children can have a safe environment to learn and live. Brick by brick we will succeed but not on our own, we need the world to see us!
We have a perfect song behind us too, the video is now here and ready for everyone to watch and listen to. Click the link below.
