The Annual General Meetings for MCC Alberta are this weekend. Kim and I have been singing a couple of the songs we want to put on the CD. It's been good to have positive feedback on "Take your place", the bluegrass version. One music critic who works in the MCC AB office has remarked that the song has been stuck in his head... and that hasn't been negative. So we may have a "title track" that actually moves this idea of "Take your place" forward. Sweet.
Kim, Kari and Anne have been sharing about our trip, and that has been received well.
Kim comes to Winnipeg this next week and we'll try and finish off her vocal recording. Which means we really need to know what songs we want on the CD. That's always a bit concerning... second guessing some decisions, etc. Then it's time to get busy with the other musicians building the arrangements.
We're still looking at a spring release. Heaven help us.

POMC/MCC GAR program
In this video, Joseph describes the work of Generations at Risk in his community.
One way I felt I was able to give a bit to the community before we left was by creating a VCT promo video with Joseph. It is all in Maa (the Maasai language) and it describes for people why they should be tested and what the testing process looks like. They will show it on the laptops they have and they're hoping to raise money for a video projector. The video includes a whole segment of one of the young men in the community actually being tested.
You'll see a bit of this testing in the video here. Joseph felt awful about doing this without gloves, but one of the realities of being in Najile is not having access to all the things you need. What would you do if you had to choose between testing or not based on the fact you didn't have gloves?
