I still need to complete a few posts as I have recently finished my 2 week engagement in Kenya as part of the MySkills4Afrika.  But, I thought I would go ahead and start creating my 1 Post that will list and highlight my experiences just in case you don’t want to scroll through all of...

A Taste of Home Far, Far Away After our activities on Sunday (see MySkills4Afrika - Journal 04), David (my transporter) and I were heading to the hotel.  It was about 3:30 and I hadn’t had lunch yet because I ate such a late breakfast before we started on our adventure.  My plan was to just...

This was a big weekend for me.  It was my tourist starting point and I was going to take full advantage of the opportunity.  Monday through Friday I was focused on work and by the time I arrived back at the hotel, night had fallen on us and I really didn’t want to venture out... Continue Reading →

Well, it is the end of the week and it’s been busy.  If you read my Journal 01 post, a last left you with my trip heading to Tanzania Tuesday night.  I traveled with Mary, a local Devices Solutions Specialist for Education, to meet with a customer and discuss Microsoft’s alignment with their vision on...

Stay tuned… I have so many things I hope to share over the next several days, I can’t wait.  Here is a sneak peak to hold you over.
