Introducing Mission Team Member: BenW

This will be Ben's second trip to Kumi - his first was during a honeymoon trip to Uganda that included a surprise wedding welcome from YCVM (he actually carried the wedding cake back on the 5 hour return bus trip to Kampala). When he isn't collecting computers and musical instruments for Aeri's annual mission trips ... well, he's collecting computers and musical instruments for churches in the Bay Area. He manages to feed himself by designing chips for Cisco, and if he isn't playing golf, pool, or riding his bike, he's probably hanging out at CCUMC or with his in-laws (crazy, eh?).

During the 2 week stay in Kumi, Ben will be in charge of the video camera. Since he has had some previous interaction with the people of YCVM, he doesn't mind being behind the viewfinder to capture the goings-on. Unfortunately, the Internet capabilities in Kumi won't be adequate for sharing video, so Ben will send communications via email for posting to KumiKonnect during the trip. Be sure to check back for new info while the team is in Kumi!
