The riptari filter asks: Where are the ICT Web Logs?<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel obliged to answer.
\nHave a look at GeekHalla<\/a> which is the unofficial site of for GeekCorps volunteers.<\/p>\n

The Rwanda<\/a> section has the diary of David Smith, who was recently there for 6 weeks working on a programming gig, I think.<\/p>\n

Also the Ghana section is interesting, because it hides within its jaws 5 distinct sites, from 5 groups of geeks that were in Ghana since mid-2000.
\nGroup 1<\/a>
\nGroup 2 (ME!)<\/a>
\nGroup 3<\/a>
\nGroup 4<\/a>
\nGroup 5 (Latest)<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, and of course, pretty soon, I’m sure Group 6 will start their journals.<\/p>\n

And this list wouldn’t be complete without my personal blogs from Armenia<\/a> and Ghana<\/a> (although the ghana entries are identical to what I wrote at geekhalla<\/a> above.<\/p>\n

But there’s a point here isn’t there. I mean there are loads of good travel-log<\/a> sites, but no real volunteer-log sites. It might be worth putting up a site where any volunteer could write a web-log (ICT projects only?) and maybe even let different org’s have customized templates for their volunteers? <\/p>\n

If I knew 4 or 5 orgs that would be interested, I might even do it myself. So let me know if you hear of any.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
