It Takes a Team

by

On i-ACT 11 this past fall, I quickly learned that shooting video in a
refugee camp is a whole new ballgame when it comes to being behind a
camera. The most difficult aspect is that the kids are all so excited
about what we’re doing and all want a chance to smile and wave at the
camera. This makes capturing anyone speaking a very difficult task!

While I was shooting interviews with students one morning in Djabal,
there was a distinct lack of kids around. After awhile, I heard a
commotion behind me and turned to investigate. Miah was distracting
the kids so we could get our work done! This ended up being one of my
favorite moments from the trip.

Now that’s teamwork!

Jordan began as a volunteer with i-ACT in 2011, taking charge of categorizing the extensive video library. Her role with i-ACT grew into full-time – including editorial duties, writing copy, and expanding the media reach of i-ACT.
