Here's a short video I put together from my trip to Southeast Asia last year with The Seed Company theseedcompany.org/. I helped set up a satellite internet connection and netbook in a remote village, and trained Mando (the main translator) how to use it.

I captured this footage in between the rest of the IT work, and recorded the background music one day when they eagerly shared some of their favorite songs with ukulele accompaniment.
