I just became the mayor for my village and I want to drive investor, people, organizations that want to support my home town in the creation of a strong economical sustainability. I need people with connection and part of my dream is to send this videos to BBC NEWS, CNN and other international channels that could help and expand all de information.

    I want help with shot content, several segments in English, Spanish and French. My french is not fluent enough but I am more than ready to learn and come up with a great presentation.
