Early Childhood Development, Documentary Video Training

Peter Jordan worked with the Christian Children's Fund (CCF) in Kenya from 2001-02 as a Hart Fellow. Peter trained CCF project staff on the use of documentary video and photography and produced audiovisual materials in collaboration with local community members. After completing his Hart Fellowship, he returned to Duke through the Lewis Hine Documentary Initiative to prepare two films. The first explores the best practices of a community-based day care center in a remote pastoral village in northern Kenya. The second is an amalgamation of videos shot and narrated by the children of Barsaloi, Kenya, and interviews Peter videotaped with these children.

Peter graduated from Duke in May 2001 with a major in English and a Certificate in Film and Video. Since his fellowship, he has worked in Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Mozambique producing video documentaries with children.
