Mark Nehrenz, who has been the videographer for Maisha International Orphanage for two years plans on moving to South Africa to help start an organization called Going North. Going North will aim to get South Africans, and all Africans, moving throughout Africa in missions, community involvement and outreach. The plan is to use media to tell stories from all across Africa, motivating Africans to move into action on their own continent.

Mark is working on getting a group of possibly 200 South African volunteers to Maisha International Orphanage in Kenya in the summer of 2010.

To see an in-depth presentation about Mark's plans with Going North, watch these videos.
