Funding for Africa is hard work

Hi everyone!
For those of you who don't know, Travis and I are leaving in less than a week to spend some time in Africa. I admit, we've reached the freaking-out-a-bit stage.
Travis, (I think you might all know) is Documentary Film Maker, and is particularly interested in Short-form Documentaries, most are only somewhere between 2 and 15 minutes long.They're the kind of documentaries you see on YouTube or Vimeo.

We'll be making several such documentaries in Africa.

First in Kenya, we'll be working with KOMAZA. They're a social entrepreneurship that helps farmers afford drought-resistant fast-growing trees which can sell as a cash crop, helping the farmer get out of debt. But the trees also enrich the landscape and environment, making the good-effects for Kenya itself long term.

Then in Uganda we'll be working with HELP International. They help with dozens of different things, but we'll be working particularly with an Eye Camp. Because the houses and huts in Uganda have such poor ventilation, many people go blind when they are very young.HELP International provides eye-surgery or glasses to many people, as well as helping build adobe stoves that will prevent such problems from continuing.

We are super excited to go and really grateful for all the support of our friends and family.
I hate to ask for more, since many of you have really helped us out, but I'm going to.
We got a grant for 5,000$ to go film. But our flights alone cost 4,800$. After 400$ of shots, paying for our bills while we're gone (like rent and phone bills, etc), and buying last minute camera equipment we're pretty low in the hole, even after hours of fundraising.

If you could donate even a dollar (though we wouldn't say no to more) it would be an entire meal for us in Africa.
