At TED Global Arusha.

Arrived in Ngurdoto mountain lodge today, its an amazing hive of activity, people arriving, registering and getting to know each other. As you may have noticed from the program, 95% of the speakers are African. Noted economists, thinkers, scientists, entrepreneurs, bloggers and others. The focus is on Africa and a new way of thinking, so lets clear our mental cache and open our minds to what comes out of this.

The program starts tomorrow the 4th and runs through the 7th.

I hope that TED delegates take the time to visit the amazing Gemma Sisia at the School of St Jude. Gemma’s passion and talent is directed to the establishment of a network of schools across East Africa. Starting in 2002 with 3 pupils, this year she is educating 870, and has started building a second campus.

5km out of Arusha, delegates should check it out. I think it is the best development project in Africa.

If you can’t get there, check out my blog…. http://www.schoolstjude.blogspot.com
