We're very strong in Africa and our participants have benefited from small amounts of work and travel that we have organized. We've been blessed by great energy from Africa for our values based approach. Also, we're developing a USB Flash Drive Editor especially for including Africans with marginal Internet access so they could read and write emails away from a computer or even electricity. http://www.worknets.org/wiki.cgi?FlashDriveEditor I invite you and all to join our working group Mendenyo (Men without food) led by Samwel Kongere (in Rusinga Island, Kenya) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mendenyo/ where we are working on this.

I hear a lot of people who talk about how things should be, or criticize the way things are but never do anything about it. I’ve always been a doer, and this is a way for me to gain some much needed time to work on projects that have need much more attention. (more on these projects at a later date, though one is AfriGadget). [...] [...] First, “talking” vs “doing”.

About half of the links I forward to people recently have been afrigadget - I just love the low profile inventiveness and ingenuity. Good luck with the changes.

I've been an interested reader for some months, now; you run a great blog. I'll be in the the Congo for six weeks, shortly, installing a hospital management system for a large hospital in a town called Goma (details: http://mindtangle.net/2007/08/16/congo-line/) While I'm there, I'll be looking around for local makers who are doing interesting things, and will write them up. If you're interested in this content, send me an email. It's an interest of mine, as I work for Instructables, a site where people gather to show off their inventions and creations. Check this group of makers, for example: http://www.instructables.com/group/fullbellyproject/ Cheers! Hello, Erik. I’ve been an interested reader for some months, now; you run a great blog.
