Good morning!  I have two options to propose:

My preference would be I send a cameraman to you to film the interview and
take some pictures and I pose the questions by phone.  I realize we
couldn=E2=80=99t shoot pictures of the children.  If this is too complicate=
d we
could just do it by Zoom.

Let me know what works for you and what time might be best.

Thanks for your patience!
