Two Russian orphans.

The biggest question I have received about my trip to Russia is “What is MIR?” No one has heard of it. To help answer that question I have put together the following video.

While in Russia I helped:

• Setup a several new computers
• Setup a new secure email system
• Demoed the XO Laptop to orphanage directors (yes yes a post on XO Laptops is coming)
• Secure the network.
• Increase the network speed.
• Setup auto backup.
• Trouble shot numerous computer related issues
• Setup StoneworksInternational.com
• Setup Mir’s new website  (still a work in progress)
• Tech training on how to process email more efficiently.
• Training on how to use a Mac
• Shot video footage for the Mir Video.
• Setup a website for Street Cry (still a work in progress)
• Edited the Mir Video.
• Passed out tracts with the folks from StreetCry

I also drank a lot of tea at the Cantrell’s with my Russian Family and explored a winter war battlefield.

Here I am filming an orphanage director. Her orphanage is interested in joining the XO-Laptop program. They are also involved in MIR's hosting program.
