If you all remember the Pogo from Episode 3, the one Hannah immediately fell in love with, his name is Michael Goode and he worked full-time on the feature film that we shot a couple of years ago. He's a good friend of ours and a fantastic filmmaker -- he's also one of those, what're they called? Do-gooders. He does good. He also loves to read articles. At any given time, he'll say, "I read this article about..." and it'll be about just about anything you're talking about. Mostly nature. He loves nature. And doing good. Sometimes, he likes doing good for nature, and that's just our Michael Goode (that's his actual last name, yes.)
Michael Goode is currently in Peru helping the villagers who lost their, well, village, in the 2 minute long earthquake that happened a while back. He's helping them rebuild their homes with a group of other, international do-gooders and he's having a blast.
I figured, since I'm not in Peru saving people, I may as well point to Mike's blog -- where he sums up his experiences. He's only had two entries, but maybe if he gets a bigger audience, he'll write more.
Another thing he brought to my attention is a website called Aidgle -- it's like Google, only everytime you use it, it donates money to various good causes. So, basically, you have to do very little while helping others, it's a good deal (never has looking for adult content on the internet been so helpful to others.)
Anyway, good luck to Michael, have a safe trip, sir, and do some good for the rest of us no-do-gooders.
