10 million viewers and counting!



Bonjour!
Yesterday we were surprised to have a TV journalist come to Maria Rosa Nsisim for a promotional video/news clip about the hospital. Their aim was to increase awareness in the community about the hospital and also let viewers know what services are offered. Being the coveted HOPE volunteers that we are, Tim/Megan/Myself were asked to lead the explanations of each department. I personally covered the OR and Pharmacy. No make-up, prep, or lighting done; the video is el-naturale! Apparently it was showed last night on [Canal 2 International], one of Cameroon's most popular TV channels. We were told upwards of 10M viewers would see the 1min summary clip!
It was a nice little surprise to be asked to be on TV; since we get a copy of the entire video I might send it directly to Hollywood. Actor/Pharmacist possibly? I hope that more promotional videos and such are created within the coming months to put MRN Hospital on the map; this place is a boon in the area and with the work Project HOPE is doing (with the help of volunteers such as ourselves) the aim is for the hospital to be a center of excellence serving all types of people(s).

Au revoir!

P.S.
Megan wants to give a shout-out to K Mo and JC. I want to give a personal shout-out to the most important person on the other side of the Atlantic...Jellybean!!
