Documentary Scholarship Trip

We drive to Jamba village. The roads get progressively narrower until we arrive. First stop is MR Singh’s house. Formerly the Raj of the village, he now has little power but is revered by the villagers and is the acknowledged head of Jamba. It’s here that we meet Trent and Amanda. Trent is here to shoot a documentary about the project and to mentor me in the making of a documentary about the village. Amanda is from World Nomads and put together the documentary scholarships and is narrating the film Trent is making. After introductions, a cup of tea and welcoming drums we head a little way out of the village to our camp where the World Expeditions staff are busy preparing our dinner. This was camping for those who don’t like camping. Tents already set up, warm water to washing morning and night, 3 course lunches and dinners and morning tea or coffee to wake up to. Tomorrow the project starts.
