July 10, 2007 Home for the Summer

All of our team members have arrived in Khorog and are settled into our home base for the fieldwork. It is immediately apparent that the team has benefited greatly from the skill building seminars over the winter period. Assembling equipment, shooting video with a steady hand and eye, framing and choosing subject matter, storyboarding, all members without exception, really capable and engaged. English skills are at an all time high on the team as well. Making teamwork easier for those on the international team (such as myself), who neglected their Tajik language homework to an unforgivable degree last winter!
