I really like being here. The thing about social media is that it has insane promise in infrastructure poor but communal rich continent of Africa. The question then becomes what we have to do to get the everyday people, a third of whom have mobile phones (like in Kenya)to understand, appreciate and get involved with the social platform that sits infront of them. This is a start, but we need to give the 12 Christian disciple a run for their money..and spread the word BIG TIME!
