It's easy to think ours is a small world. We get comfy in the limited geography of our home zones and content with the view from the porch while our remote controls open sanitized windows into what lies beyond that reduce it all to a kind of safe two-dimensional fiction. But, of course, the real world is a huge and often alien place, and Senior Sales Director for Education & Dialogue Susan Johnson's Africa blog is providing post after post of amazing proof positive.
I wrote about her sabbatical to Rwanda to join Project Akilah a while ago, and have been following her adventures ever since. If you haven't checked out her blog yet, you absolutely should. It's a fascinating trip into a culture well removed from our own, and Susan is down deep into it working to make a difference after a long night of war and worse. In the last few days, she's been navigating through and around everything from barbequed goat to volcano roads so rough they shook her car keys out of her bag and left her stranded. I suspect she's going to have a heck of a slide show when she gets home. In the meantime, cross the sea on wires, share her adventures, and support her good works to make the world a better place in all its many corners.
