Via Africa Is a Country, an appeal for Africans to send their spare radiators to warm freezing children in Norway:
A project of the The Norwegian Students’ and Academics’ International Assistance Fund, Radi-Aid asks us all to “[i]magine if every person in Africa saw the “Africa for Norway” video and this was the only information they ever got about Norway.”
Way to show, not tell, guys!
This is amazing! Tweeted this: I just wrote a post on “The iPhone and the Latest Technology: Why We Consume at the Expense of Others,” which gets at this critique of development that always conceptualizes Africans as ‘behind,’ when actually, the ways in which they use technology (for cultural transformation) is far more progressive than how we in the West use it.
