History

Well, the history proposal is done and submitted.  I am so grateful to have this class during this time as it is helping to clarify the focus and my own understanding of the philAnthRopisT.  Blending art and philanthropy to benefit non profit organizations isn't a new concept, but it is new to me and I have run with this idea . . . which is now a working model.   I am excited to be preparing a paper that will help keep the video project on point.  The people of Uganda, specifically the people of the BDP (Batwa Development program), are so willing to assist with this research paper, I hope they can meet my deadlines.  I have to plan very far ahead since our time difference and sense of urgency is not the same.  This will be a true "fieldwork" assignment, now and in 2012!  Let's get it done!!
