The wonderful people at GeekCorps<\/a> offered me a return to Ghana with the new team. A perfect project, working with mobile Internet and WAP for a company called Rancard Solutions<\/a> in Accra. Leave in late february for 4 months. Combine mobile internet and the digital divide, the 2 areas that hold my interest, as well as two areas i see as highly complementary.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately I am in the middle of a contract that i can’t really leave until early April at the earliest, and who knows what I want to be doing then. So at the moment I am asking other people I know who have expertise in WAP and Java, wether they’d be interested in having that great experience. If you know anyone, dash me an e-mail address.<\/p>\n

So at the moment, I am looking into popping over to Ghana for a shorter period when this current project allows me the time. A sort of combined vacation and checking out the old haunts, maybe even lend a hand to some IT firms. We’ll see if I can actually afford it, and find the time in overlapping periods. <\/p>\n

But at least it’s nice to start the week-end of dreaming a little bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
