"I’m glad it made an impact. I think now is the time to get into more clubs. Can you strategize how we can best make this happen?
Also, last night we had a meeting in regards to our next five covid-19 videos for Somalia. Somalia is getting hit really hard. Also, precious little content for children exists there. We are doing physical and mental health videos that are about 3x longer than our Kenyan series. Things are going well except somewhere along the line there was a budgeting error on the side of the people who are hiring us. We need another $2000 to make the series look great. (Essentially the partners from WorldVision, Save the Children, Oxfam and the Somali group simply didn’t budget for building a set.)
Can you help us boost the signal to get $2000 for building a re-usable set piece? We’ve managed to secure a donation to use a large studio (not ours with the leaky roof) and we have ample money to pay our puppeteers but the project isn’t going to “look good” without some serious set building. Any thoughts on quickly getting $$ would help. These partners are too big to kick in anything quickly or redraft their original budget."
