Okay, so most of you noticed I've posted only one day this month. Along with 24 hour theater, RA duty, and more work than expected, it has been a busy month. I was working on several side projects. Below is one of them. It's a promotional video for a really outstanding organization called Citizen Schools. They are located above the Boston Children's Museum, and bring in professionals to teach classes in their field along with mentoring eighth grade students.
If you're interested in education or working with youth, you should definitely check them out.
On January 19, 2009, 75 students and 75 mentors got together to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy of service and how they can play a role in helping to solve America's problems through service. Our students and mentors wrote joint letters to President Obama, not to ask what he would do, but to tell him what they will do.
This video was made as a promotional video for the non-profit Citizen Schools organization.

Thawing out the blog
Okay...it has been almost a month since my last post. The last few weeks have been some of the busiest so far this year. With that said, I have a lot of great news.
First, I have an update in my Fulbright status. I have made it past the second round of deliberations and my application is now under final review. Also, many of my friends on campus also got good news on their applications as well. Congratulations BC!
Last week, I also had the chance to join my friend Orhan, a Cambridge College grad student I met at the TCC, for some delicious soup, tea, and Turkish desserts. Orhan introduced me to a really, great Turkish musician, Bariş Manço (pronounced Barish Mancho). I can only describe him as an eclectic musician because some of his songs are really folky, others are more new age, some sound like disco, etc etc. Here is a photo from one of his very early music videos.
Also, it looks like there will be a screening of "In Good Faith" at the Roxbury Mosque on March 22. The screening is tentatively scheduled for 6PM, and will include a panel of those involved including someone from the Muslim American Society and Father Raymond Helmick, S.J.
That's it for now. I've also been very busy finishing a video for Citizen Schools, a non-profit interested in providing better after school options for inner city students, and also a report for my TV Newsroom class on Boston's new cigarette ban. I will be posting those soon.
