Communication from the field by Paul Freedman:

Hi Amanda,

I hope this finds you well.  I have had to change my ticket once to prolong my stay but now, because of the violence on the plateau, I need to change it again.

We’ve had a great time.  Unfortunately, the center on the Plateau was attacked by an armed group just after Neema and I left…Many homes in the village were burned and the violence has spread across the plateau where I was scheduled to return today.  So…it’s been interesting.  But I got incredible footage and stories from Neema’s projects!!!

thanks again for your huge contribution!
