Oh, My Co-ordinator!
My 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:

Busy At Work @ SquatLab :-)
If 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
Recently, 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
After 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.

Finally, finally, finally … a new home!
WordPress database error: [Table 'wecblogs_georgeappiah.wp_pp_cats' doesn't exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_photopress LEFT JOIN wp_pp_cats ON (wp_photopress.catslug=wp_pp_cats.catslug) WHERE binary imgfile='uganda_beach.jpg'
So here I go … finally managed to steal some little time to get this blog running. The subject matter of this blog is actually not new. It started life at my personal blog where I used to write about many topics … from coding to cooking (oh yes … that’s true!), with life in Uganda getting it’s due attention.
So why the move? Is it just because I wanted to walk my talk? Well, that and more. I sure wanted to walk my talk about a central place to keep WEC volunteers’ journals. But also, I’ve kindda’ got other plans for the domain GeorgeAppiah.com, and I thought it wise best to separate WEC related content from the pending project I’m going to use that domain for.
So in a day or two, I’m going to move all the old posts here … plus lots and lots of photos.
So how does that pass for a supposedly first post in a blog?
