Unraveling an explanation for Africa’s state of affairs is no easy task – many problems, many perspectives, much effort, and little progress. How do the thousands of foreign aid workers in Africa view the likelihood that their efforts will lead to meaningful long-term change? It’s difficult to ignore the lengthy history of individuals and governments that have attempted to harness Africa, to no avail.
Despite its challenges, I’m quite enjoying my travels here. It took a few weeks to get back in the travel saddle. After a wonderful experience in Uganda, it’s time to head back to Nairobi to meet Steve and begin our epic trip south, overland, to Johannesburg.
