Its been two months since I have returned from Israel and Palestine and life has been quite the whirlwind for me. In the past month and a half I have been crisscrossing around the country meeting friends in Portland and family in Boston and saying goodbye to the desserts I love so much in Utah and the mountains I love so much in Colorado. I  am happy to say, though that amidst all of the plane travel I was able to finish editing the first two videos from the project and I have included them here bellow. The first video looks at the core of the Coexistence Project and demonstrates why the project is such a challenge and the political, cultural, and professional barriers that have to be crossed to attain peace among midwives in the region.

The second film is a short 5 minute movie about a side project that the group is working on in Israel for the Sudanese refugees in Arad which I talked about earlier in my blog.

I am still working on trying to get the book ready for publishing so you will soon see more information on that. I am starting to get ready for my next projects. I will be leaving in 2 weeks for Gulu, Uganda to make another film about the work of an organization The Global Women's Empowerment Fund which works to bring micro finance to women in the refugee camp of Northern Uganda. When I return from this job I will be traveling to Nepal to live in Katmandu for 6 months to teach a class on Global Leadership and conduct my own research project looking at combining public health education and micro finance. More to come on this.
