Hosting & readiness
Connecting the visit with the programme
I coordinated ground, air and rail arrangements, accommodation, schedules and stakeholder access. I worked across programme, clinical and government contacts, helping visitors and the production team understand the local setting.
Field production
Helping the story become accessible to the crew
I supported location scouting across ten rural homes and helped locate Balbina Mrema for the documentary. I coordinated local access and communication in English and Kiswahili, and followed up on local filming after the international crew left.

Keeping a tightly scheduled visit workable
The day’s itinerary connected a 12:30 lunch briefing, 14:00 camp tour, 15:00 principals’ engagement, 16:00 founder interview and 17:00 camp footage. My preparation brought the participants, locations and logistics together around that schedule.
Published outcome
The Singida eye camp became a story partners could see.
The Kym Rapier Foundation publishes the Singida eye camp film on its Mo Dewji Foundation project page. Its production team describes following Balbina’s journey through cataract surgery.
My contribution was hosting and field coordination. The film was created by the filmmaking partners.
