Lots going on in the provinces recently. In Taiama, established by Mash P, they have been making beats with Wise, (all music is on our soundcloud.com/wayout-1 learning filming with manager MSK and filming music videos in a nearby village. Approximately 40 villages surround Taiama. Places with no clean water, power, schools or clinics. The youth have nothing to do but BKB walks in to WAYout 5 days a week and made his first video last week. Susan visited village Bondurbu, home of The Women's Media Group, where they have made several short film dramas about issues that concern them -early marriage, fistula, etc which are screened in surrounding villages. We have installed a well (funded by ) and contributed to agriculture, enabling the women to send their children to school and have time for filmmaking.

A lot to catch up on. We have been busy this year and we'll start with music. Studio 1 has been busy with producers Wise, Kaikai and Jimmy. In Taiama there has also been some great tracks produced. All tracks are on our Soundcloud. There was a big show, starring Morcheeba in London- a great fundraiser for WAYout at which Mash P performed with Slick'n'Bobby. Brilliant performances all round. Supported by JSF. Once a month Bullet holds an open mic session in Fisher Street as part of the Unity group. And Anthony Pears has an album of WAYout artists coming out in April.
