Rural villages can transform themselves by finding solutions to their village problems… By being empowered by technology or tools that create opportunities for jobs for the youth and also old alike… Community folks are tied of people in
A blog is one way of empowering the masses to content… not food… because we have fertile land… but it is overused and abused because maybe farmers don’t know about crop rotation… or other farming methodologies applied in the west and east…
A blog could be a journal… filled with your interaction with society and how you can make money… but how do you start talking about yourself? www.problogger.com is another good resource to use when researching blog monetization… Google is a good start…
I helped a former co-worker from Portland, Oregon cordinate a volunteer mission to Kenya… Amy had a wonderful family in Kibera and in Kisii-Kenya and visited various self help groups… And she can attest that the infrastructure is bad but people’s hearts and mind are big to welcoming help from individuals to try new things… with that said.. blogging an art similar to a musician… or a writer or a painter and until we embrace technology and try it in our rural villages… can we say our SOS is being ignored… I am not a preacher, a political leader, but I am a spokesperson of my small village… And soon you see it too in Wikipedia… I plan to extend my independent publishing to Kenya to share with other’s the good things I have learnt being the Diaspora… And share my failures and minimum success at trying to challenge the “accepted” and challenge norms, “Isms’ and “Schisms”.
I may not agree with Jacob Zuma and neither is this a political forum but I respect the wishes of the informed masses… For Mr.Zuma it is a great opportunity to change and make amends after all we have to co-exist.
