Yesterday we presented - in Espanol (I'm enrolled in a 7 week Escuela de Espanol) at Middlebury College.
There were four of us. Me, Kennii from Nigeria (and Stanford University), Bob from Brazil, and Jo - all Spanish 1.5 students presenting on environmental subjects to the students of Middlbury's prestigious summer language college (my wife is Director of the School of French).
Here is a link to my 5 minute presentation on "fotos falsas" and collateral damage. I was joined by Technico Rudy of Queztatenaga Guatemala.

It went over very well.
People can tell the difference between photos taken in professional refurbishing and recycling factories, and poverty porn pictures of random children placed atop of home-generated junk.
Kehinde “Kennii” Ekundayo has become a friend in the class. Her presentation was about use of art to draw attention to global warming etc. Bob and Jo also spoke about warming.
I spoke about NGOs creating an atmosphere to arrest smart technicians in poor countries doing what my grandfather taught me about - fixing a rich person's broken thing.
