BIG News from OMPT Headquarters today! The Centers for Disease Control is engaging OMPT to aid in its response to the Ebola crisis. One Mobile Projector per Trainer is headed for West Africa to help fight Ebola. OMPT will conduct a 4-day Video Education Workshop for aid organizations working in Guinea.
The operation includes supplying 100 video production kits; including cameras, cordless projectors and recharging equipment.
Details have still to be worked out, but it is likely the workshop will be held in Conakry, Guinea, at the US Embassy, in cooperation with the US State Department. The project will subsequently be expanded to include workshops in Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Matt York, OMPT's Executive Director, will conduct the workshop. Dates and travel plans are pending. Safety concerns, travel restrictions and equipment transport are are key among the issues to be addressed.
We will send a more complete report on the operation as logistics are firmed up, along with information about how you can help.
OMPT is gratified to be able to lend our expertise to this unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
