Zack Tucker, a film maker from Seattle, Washington is traveling to Morocco and Ghana this coming month to shoot a documentary for Kabissa. He will be in Morocco September 10-14 and in Ghana September 22-25. His background is in the world of dramatic film and television; He has a degree from Capilano University in Vancouver, Canada in film production and has worked in the film and television industry in Vancouver. He was most recently working on Columbia Pictures upcoming epic entitled “2012” by director Roland Emmerich. He was also nominated for a Leo Award (best music video) this past year for Ali Milner “Crystal Clear”. He is now turning his attention to the exciting world of documentary filmmaking. His hope is to highlight several charities operating in Ghana and Morocco and show what they are doing, why what they are doing is of importance, and how Kabissa is helping them achieve their goals.  To learn more about the work Zack is doing for Kabissa, please visit the Kabissa Meetups page under groups.   Thank you Zack!

Hi Jennifer!

Thanks for sharing this news also in the Connect PNW group. Zack is having a
great experience on his "semester at sea" trip, travelling by ship from
Spain to Morocco, Ghana and then South Africa. He's in fairly regular email
contact which is nice.

His trip to Morocco appears to have gone well - he reported back that he
visited the office of Tanmia (http://www.tanmia.ma) in Rabat and then
several former Kabissa training partners in Marrakesh.

Now I'm starting to get really excited about Zack's visit to Kumasi next
week. I went there about 5 years ago and was very impressed by what citizen
sector organisations are doing. Yesterday I devoted some time to organising
the logistics for the Kumasi meetup itself - and welcome any and all
feedback or improvements on the wiki page in the meetups group that I
created. The goal is to bring together members so they can connect on the
local level, learn from each other and share with the broader community. I
think the meetup itself is shaping up really nicely.

When he gets back to Bainbridge, there will be opportunities to show his
film to the local community as well as online. I am looking forward to
seeing it and also the reactions it provokes around the world about the work
of organisations in the Kabissa network.

Cheers,

Tobias
