Special Thanks to Nik!

Special thanks to Nik Vandenmeerendonk for compiling some of the video that we took while we were working with AVODEC in Nicaragua. He's put together a two-minute sequence which is really quite amazing. This will be posted on the website in the future. Nik is a recently graduated graphic arts student from the University of Minnesota. To contact Nik, you can email him at vand0486@umn.edu.
