OMPT has partnered with CEASPA (Center for Panamanian Social Studies and Action), an NGO based in Panama that educates indigenous peoples and promotes equity, economic growth, democratic participation, and sustainable environmental development. Matt York, intern Ben Bennett, and volunteer Kurt Bennett traveled to Panama the first week in January to educate both the CEASPA staff and the Ngabe Indian tribe to use video technology. The Ngabe Indians are now filming short videos to show the negative effects outside interventions, such as tourism development and copper mining, are having on their land. The Ngabe Indians are planning to raise awareness of these issues by showing their videos via pico projectors which OMPT provided. OMPT is proud to be training both parties to use audio-visual technology to help educate and improve the lives of these people.
