I’ve blogged for 3 years throughout my stay in East Africa. In average I have about 50 daily visits to my blog - the majority of my readers are from USA, Europe and Africa. In 2006 my blog was chosen as Ugandan Blog of the Year, and in March 2008 I was heavily criticized for not displaying the ‘right picture’ of Africa. I learnt that people have a million different opinions on Africa, and that the image of Africa in European media often doesn't correspond with the one of the Africans. Hence, I try to stick to my original intention; I started blogging because I found the information about being a Danish development worker in Africa too political correct. I wanted to use the opportunity of staying in Africa to add nuance and perspective to this, to add a personal dimension, to illustrate what it actually feels like. But I also blog to keep track of my experience, for learning, staying in touch and for exchanging ideas. I blog from my perspective, knowing very well that my tribe is Scandinavian and my accent Northern. When people tell me that it has inspired them to blog, helped them prepare for Africa, made them aware or curious on Africa, I’m happy. Obviously, I’m not perfect as a person, development worker or in my 2nd language. This blog reflects me, my impressions and viewpoints only. Not the NGO I work for and obviously not any other person. If you don’t agree with what you read, feel free to ask, comment or exchange viewpoints, but note that I moderate comments.
