An interview I conducted in 2009 with the founder of www.isabt.org, Jonathan Thurston, was published at Global Voices Online on Friday 26th of February. You can read the full article–Ghanaian Students Contribute to Virtual Media Library–by clicking the title and its link.
Here is a short excerpt:
“In July 2009 I had the privilege of catching up with old friends and meeting some new faces when Jonathan Thurston, his wife Kristi, and past and present students arrived in Ghana to carry out a book making project with students at a primary school in Elmina, in the Central Region of Ghana.
What’s so special? They use simple, portable technology to inspire creativity and facilitate learning among Ghana’s poorest students. And they use ‘social media’ to establish networks with like-minded individuals and organizations internationally, enhancing development opportunities and increasing the possibility of involving other communities and countries as the organization grows.”
