Peace Corps Tanzania, until recently, had no centralized website for volunteers. Recognizing this as a problem, an ICT volunteer down in Njombe responded in the most logical way possible: by beginning to build one. Myself and another ICT volunteer up in Kilimanjaro got into the project, the three of us declared ourselves an ICT committee, or possibly a triumvirate of technological superiority, and now we have a functioning website that is live and ready for business at pctanzania.org. Tomorrow I'm going into Dar-es-Salaam in order to make a presentation about it to the staff at the Volunteer Advisory Council meeting. I'm somewhat excited about this. Not so much about going into Dar, which is far from being my favorite place ever*, but that we built a website and it works.
*I was selected to make the presentation on the basis of geographic proximity.
"Triumvirate of technological superiority" - this would make a great name for a rock band!
ReplyDeleteActually, there was a 1970's art-rock band named Triumvirate.
