Hi Fred!
Thanks for joining our global community! I look forward to seeing what you film tomorrow. Will you be filming in Liberia or Guinea-Bissau? (I saw that you confirmed to the Guinea Bissau event on Facebook). We have very few participants in Guinea-Bissau so if you could invite your family and friends to participate, that'd be great! Here is the link:

We only have a few participants from Liberia so we would love to have your collaboration on this. Looking forward to seeing/hearing about your ideas! Best of luck.
