I will have to send this to my friend, who unfortunately has not been able to share her home country with her children yet. Thank you!

[alozo19]

iii i learnd alot by these kids

[KARStarla]

This was wonderfully done! That little boy was just the most precious thing and so perfect for this documentary, I learned so much

[handfp]

Glad you liked it. That little boy is now 16 and ever so slightly embarrassed every time I refer to his performance here. We returned to the village in 2004 and made another video 5 years on from this one. Hopefully we'll get back there again next year to see how life is 10 years on.

[KARStarla]

Oh I just loved it thank you so much, thats awesome to travel the way you do and see the things you do. I was so glad I watched this.

[mchigubu]

Excellent! This is very educative, and I am sure your children will cherish this video for life! Thank you very much for reporting without bias. You taught your children to respect other people's cultures without demeaning or being judgemental. Excellent work! As a Zimbabwean parent, I feel so highly motivated watching your children's video! Great JOB! Don't we love IRELAND!

Wow! This is awesome documentary for educational purposes. In my 4th year in Nursing School this semester in USA, one of the projects I was required to complete was to select a country in the world and talk about their culture, their way of life and the impact professional nursing can have. I searched everywhere for material relevant to Zimbabwean culture and could not find any. Then, while searching YouTube, I stumbled on Colm and Norah videos, and I knew I had struck gold.....

[pharmdmsn]

......On the day of presentations, I had 30 minutes to do my presentation, I and logged onto YouTube, gave a brief introduction and for the next 18 minutes the whole class watched this Colm & Norah video as introduction to Zimbabwean culture. My classmates were all captivated and held in great suspense, awe and interest as the video played. People were caught by various things on the video. Some wished they could have an opportunity to have their kids have such cultural trips......

[pharmdmsn]

......My Irish-American professor commented on the marvelous disposition of Colm & Norah who conducted themselves like professional journalists in things that were not customary to the Irish. I was mobbed with praises for an excellent presentation all because of the impact Colm & Norah video had on the whole class. The project had 100 points and I scored highest with 99% after a point deduction for my public speaking abilities. This is a must-have-video for a Zimbabwean living in western world.
