Fresh Blog: My Life in Africa Reports
Found an interesting blog today. My Life in Africa Reports shares stories of Ugandan's taking part in a community called Life in Africa. Here's a quote from the blog:
Life in Africa (LiA) is a grassroots membership community of people from all walks of life in Uganda who are building a member owned and operated social purpose enterprise. We produce social-awareness raising craft products and develop member services that connect our communities to global resources for local and family level change. LiA's success is driven by a Webbed Empowerment (WE) strategy that guides our online and offline activities at WE Centers in Kampala and Gulu.
Blog entries range from the mundane to inspirational. What I like about this blog is its refreshing portrayal of Ugandan life. I'm so tired of the stereotypical 'dazed African looking into a camera' as is dominant in mainstream media. Instead, we read real stories of real people struggling and finding creative solutions to improve their lives. Definitely worth a visit.
