AMIGOS Testimonials

"Since AMIGOS I have pursued a career in Media and Entertainment. The subjects of many of the projects I have chosen to focus on deal with the meeting of different cultures or one individual's experiences exploring another culture. This fascination is in no small way a direct result of my experiences working in Honduras with AMIGOS. In fact, I first got the idea for my on-going project, "A Moment on Earth," while at the bottom of a latrine we had dug in Honduras. My mind kept trying to imagine where other people I knew would be at that exact time in worlds that seemed so far away and so different. I promised myself that one day I would make a film to capture that idea. On August 5th and 6th, 2004 that dream came to fruition."

"I';d say the fact that my partner and I gave over 20,000 vaccinations during the 5 weeks we were in Paraguay was an amazing accomplishment. It's stayed with me that we gave some of the last smallpox vaccinations ever given in the world."
