Hello Victor,
Thank you so much for generous offer. WMKLE just joined the bandwagon on
Wiki Loves Monuments and your CamCorder would come in handy as we plan on
making as much oral and video recordings as possible. This should be very
useful.
Thank you so much once again.

Hello Wikimedia Kenya,
So a week ago at Wikimania, my team's goal was to interview as many
Wikipedians as possible on video, and I can't believe it but we actually
did it. We recorded around 100 on-camera interviews from editors from all
over the world. Now we have to begin the post-production process. (It was
good to meet a few of you in person too).
I regret to say that since Wikimania, AGAIN my priorities have to shift
from coming to Kenya -- to editing this video. There is a lot of footage to
go through and only so much time to get it done correctly if it is going to
play by the fundraiser.
That said, I feel I owe the Kenyan chapter some kind of a favor for all
your patience. What I have is a Canon XA-10 professional
camcorder<http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/pro…
I won't be using while I'm editing the Wikimania interview footage. I
could loan it to the chapter for some time and let you decide how best to
use it. It's a very compact, high-quality camera that is very easy to learn
to use. It records on high-speed SD cards and can record for hours and
hours at a time. I would be happy to help with any questions you may have
about operating it or editing / manipulating footage from it. Please let me
know if the chapter could use a camera like this for some time, and I will
ship it immediately.
I'd like to thank you for all your patience with me, I don't want to
promise anything I can't deliver on - but I can say that I want to talk to
all of you and hope I can be of service soon. Also if there is anything
else I can do while I'm editing footage, please let me know.
