and then i had t to look when i got to know because  to my name is eleanor angelica's i am seattle professional as well as a volunteer for ethiopia reads i am delighted to come talk to you today about the beauty and connections that come through media and through collaboration through different organizations that may have different goals and different vehicles but work together to accomplish a common goal one of those is the multimedia resource and training institute that we have here in seattle which allows ethiopian youth to connect through media both from seattle to back in ethiopia one of the things that allowed us to be hugely successful at our first ever fundraiser for ethiopia reads was the support of this training institute to both capture the vent as it unfolded to allow volunteers that couldn't attend or supporters who couldn't attend what the event was all about the beauty of media is it allows people who may not be able to travel or may not have a view into the world accessible to them from where they are to see and to learn and to connect to individuals that may live across the globe that may have a completely different experience than they have i am the mother of a little girl who was born in ethiopia one of the things i wanted to give her was a connection to her home country and a connection to her culture part of the reason i started volunteering for is i had read about their organization and i had understood what they were trying to do which was allow children in her home country to have the same access to education and books and dreams that they could have that she would have here in the u s and as i worked with this organization part of the power of media allowed me to meet artists and writers and to learn about the ethiopian youth media here in seattle and what they were doing and the power of all the different forms of media that connect us and that allow us to become truly global community is astounding and it's available to all that this is an area where people come and can share their message and their message because of the beauty of you tube and the internet can be available you know here in seattle in washington d c you know in europe where my my parents family and my husband family is from and other parts of africa where my daughter calls her birthplace the beauty of media is that it connects us all and allows us to deliver a message and learn from all of us so it's certainly part of my learning process has been using the connections i found supporting them collaborating and there's a wonderful synergy and everyone working together so it encouraged you to think about the media that you can be a part of think about whether or not this is an organization ethiopia youth media that you can support or that you have a message that you want to get out through their vehicle and their medium that they provide free of charge and available to you and i want to thank the founder  boonie for all his wonderful support because this is part of why we were able to do what we were able they do in seattle and i think it's through this continued collaboration between many organizations and many individuals that we will find many of the like like computer editing like we cut out we cut out lots of unneeded noise and we want you know you can't or we've been learning about cameras and how to work those they're they're pretty hard to use so we've been learning how to use it and it videos to oh that's been so so so i heard you guys went to training camp how was your experience there it was a great experience because we got to interview mr john nor so i also heard that you guys went to the library but what did you guys get from there what did you guys get from the library that we that will help you guys do your seahawks document very well we got valuable research information from us and  and they we just like yeah stuff like micro fish and and the books that they have on the c x like section books for the seahawks and those are just the research tools the two little resources to that we received and they were very important that they were very important and needed to us interviews and be and just progress in our in our interview knowledge and we've been doing it we are from there since then we've elevated our knowledge of that so you know it's a good experience so this is the second have lots of pictures obviously of the scott hunter and we just want to know about the seahawks events for valuable information and we're still we're still working on a way to figure out how to put that out a document terry that's good  him and his thoughts on c x i was lee cooper doing a documentary and it was a great experience because he we won a lot from him and what it takes to run a city and his thoughts on you know youth violence which  central area network ordinator for the seattle good filings prevention initiative with therapeutical service what is it what is it that you do specifically as the central area network ordinator i'm in charge of coordinating services for a network of young people and what we're trying to do is help kids stay out of violence and we provide them programs case management services mentoring programs like  where you get to learn skills that will give you opportunities in your future and have you helped a lot of kids in your years of working i have helped a lot of kids and i feel like today's a fantastic day to talk about it with being able to interview you in or be here with you in and seeing all the kids in action with the audio production right next door and some of the kids coming back from boxing and just excited about the things that we have to offer  transition into the seahawks what do you think are the chances of the seahawks do or win the super bowl this year i think the chances of the seahawks winning the super bowl is very high i mean this team is dedicated they're talented they've got a great coach behind them with p h p carroll and he's dedicated to the community as well so loving to see the vision of being a great player on the field in a great person off the field as well as rally the group to to to success and to think the seahawks are doing a good job of community outreach i think they are doing a great job with community outreach the individual players have their foundations like f i manage special collections here in the seattle public library or really glad that we had a chance to partner this past summer with and the m m r t i institute to do some really interesting programs with the program dr perkins ladies and gentlemen what few are here we really expected a bigger audience and i am a little disappointed because we thought we had  those who came are those who wanted to see this so you all are the winners i was asked to talk about the significance of where we opened up something like this this is a sports city sports and entertainment one of the getting these young people market to me that they have never had before when you think in terms of the population that was recruited the population was recruited from these young kids from girl field and franklin high school they are youth violence prevention initiative they are so happy to be doing something wait until you see what they have accomplished this is how it works when another group of young people in the same or to me the enrich your see nothing like this this is just their form of artistic expression and what are cooing age tale of two cities this two cities interpretation of these photographs and more is th adapted very well and i'm not going to take up a lot of time after this because i'm a passing on so you can get introduced to what the senior separate peer yes to a terrorist development project
