One night at the Camp, the Community Producers from India had a skype videoconference with VVs' Producers from Brazil. Alexandra Pinschmidt, a Masters Candidate in International Development from Drake University and VV Intern, writes about this unique exchange between Community Producers living tens of thousands of miles apart.

One of the most important goals in having a Community Video Camp is to bring together people from all around the country who wouldn't have otherwise met. As hoped, stories, ideas, and inspiration flowed in all directions between community producers, NGO workers, and media students throughout the 6 days.

For a handful of Community Producers, the most surprising of these exchanges took place between them and a similar group of Community Producers from Sao Paulo, Brazil. This group, in a new program by Video Volunteers in partnership with the Brazilian NGO Casa das Caldeiras, focuses on sustainable entrepreneurial models for community video.
