Hi Jay and Doug and everyone: Yes, the cameras that I brought over were purchased with money I raised from my blog doing a personal fundraising campaign!
My documentation of the trip is here: http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/cloggersummit2007/index.html The campaign page is here http://cambodiabloggingsummit.wikispaces.com/ To add to the story, there's been a third video blogger from Cambodia to start. And, this guy, Vutha, didn't win one of the cameras! I showed they could do the same thing with a cameraphone or digital camera with a video setting. Anyway, he needed a little bit a remote tech support, but it is a great start: http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2007/09/another-cambodi.html The video blogging workshop curriculum is here: http://cloggersummit.wikispaces.com/Video+Blogging The Cambodian Bloggers Summit is here: http://cloggersummit.wikispaces.com/ On 9/11/07, Jay dedman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just wanted to share my daily vlog with members of the group showing > > a project just completed in Cambodia.
