I don’t blog about work much, but this particular project was a treat to work on. A group of students from the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy spent their spring break going on a medical relief mission to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where they treated more than 1,700 people over eight days. I talked to some of the students and other people involved with the mission and got a lot of good stuff (I transcribed 24 pages of interviews). Out of that came a feature story, a collection of interview clips, and an audio slideshow (below). I really enjoyed working on this project, in part because I got to play around with multimedia and pull together several methods of storytelling to create a detailed account of the experience. One of my passions has always been combining my writing, design, and multimedia skills to document our world and our experiences in it, and it’s even better when I get to tell a story about people giving up time and money to do something that really made a difference for others.
