May 27th, 2006 by George Appiah- Where have I been? Where I’m I?
- So I’m going to Sweden?

- I wanted pineaple jam, not sugar.
Oh, My Co-ordinator!
May 7th, 2006 by George AppiahMy co-ordinator had gone missing for sometime. I looked everywhere, asked everyone. Nada, no one seemed to know his whereabouts.
Finally I found him. And here he is:
Daniel Kakinda, My Co-ordinator
Solar Eclipse Photo from Ghana
April 25th, 2006 by George AppiahA loser friend of mine in Ghana sent me this photo of the recent solar eclipse. This was taken with a Nokia 6230i cell phone and sent via MMS over the Areeba Ghana network.
Not too bad, methinks.

OKN Workshop @ Lubiri SSS
March 31st, 2006 by George AppiahSchoolNet Uganda recently (? hugh 
) organised a workshop for the local Knowledge Workers of the Open Knowledge Network on Participatory Rural Appraisal and Evalauations. The purpose of this workshop was to improve the monioring and evaluation of OKN’s projects in Uganda.
The Open Knowledge Network (OKN) is a human network, which collects, shares and disseminates local knowledge and is supported by flexible technical solutions. OKN is not something new. It is a synthesis of tried and tested ideas; building on what is already happening in many different fields and joining up the dots. http://www.openknowledge.net
SchoolNet Uganda is the local partner for OKN, and implements OKN’s activities in Uganda. The venue was Lubiri Seconday School in Kampala.
Here are some photos from the workshop (Sadly, I couldn’t stay on the last day of the workshop, as I’d fallen victim to those mosquitoes again!).
Busy At Work @ SquatLab :-)
March 31st, 2006 by George AppiahIf you happen to find me in my house anywhere and everywhere, you would be more likely to find me sitting in one style or another on the floor, than in a chair. I’m on the floor while reading, watching TV (on those rare occassions when I do watch TV) or even while eating!
I don’t know when I picked this habit or where I picked it from. But I kind’a do enjoy it very much. But I never could image this nifty habit of mine would come handy one day
Visit to the Source of River Nile
March 14th, 2006 by George AppiahRecently, after launching Mtandao Africa (formerly ThinkQuest Africa) in one school (hmm, me and names!), we took it easy and visited the source of the Nile River!
It was a wonderful experience to be at the very spot where the water from Lake Vitoria begins a journey of several hundred kilometers to feed the Nile River.
But it was also disheartening to realise how mankind’s wanton destruction and total disregard for natural laws can break the very heart and nerves of Mother Nature. Lake Victoria is indeed drying up (see photos below), hence the serious electrical power problems in Uganda and other countries in Eastern Africa.
Microsoft Partners-In-Learning Workshop at Ngora High School
March 12th, 2006 by George AppiahAfter I returned from Africa Source 2 workshop, I went over to Ngora High School in the Eastern Region of Uganda for a 5-day workshop. It’s a pity how time flies and I’m not able to update this blog as often as I’d like to. There are a thousand and one reasons for this. But at long last here goes the update.
The recently ended Microsoft Partners in Learning Workshop at Ngora High School was one of five (5) concurrent workshops that took place throughout the country. The program is a partnership between Microsoft (through the Partners in Learning Programme) and the Ugandan Ministry of Education, with SchoolNet Uganda as the implementing body.
This forms part of the Education Mnistry’s broader vision to equip every Ugandan teacher with ICT skills by the year 2010.
