- I am a videographer and video editor living in Philadelphia, PA. I was a volunteer with CCS in 2003 at Akeri Vocational Training College in Arusha, Tanzania. I taught computer science there for 8 weeks. I also shot a video of my experience as a volunteer in Tanzania and used it as my senior thesis in college.

- Hello Aaron
