Just stumbled across your interesting project while looking for a picture to illustrate an article on apps as a force for good, with particular reference to Africa. The pic of Olais above is perfect, and I’d be very grateful for your permission to use it. Full credit will be given, of course. Your site hasn’t been updated for a while – hope you’re still going! Best, Mike

]]> Comment on Our Team by mueller, M. http://concentrate42b.wordpress.com/about/#comment-153 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:02:33 +0000 http://concentrate42b.wordpress.com/about/#comment-153 Dear people from Small-Scale Solar Solutions,

Together with colleagues I write a geography school book for German pupils on globalization. Searching for illustrations for global communication I found your picture of the villagers in Mogesho who show their mobiles (http://concentrate42b.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/africa-july-22-036.jpg).
The picture illustrates nicely that in the meantime cell phones are a common means of communication all over the world. (Much better than showing African kids playing with self-made clay-mobiles [developed country perspective] as often shown school books.)
My requests:
a) Can we get your permission for printing? The publisher will offer some money, but it will be more a symbolic sum.
b) Have you got more photos of this situation? (e.g. The villagers looking into the camera.)

Looking forward to your reply,
Michael Mueller
lecturer geography teaching methodology

PS. Your e-mail adresses (xxx@fromconcentrate.org) don’t work.

]]> Comment on A few notes on language by SJ http://concentrate42b.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/a-few-notes-on-language/#comment-143 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:45:14 +0000 http://concentrate42b.wordpress.com/?p=540#comment-143 I would like to add something. Alot of words that are used in Swahili resemble with other foreign languages. One of my friend told me, swahili is a mixture of alot of languages and few of them are russian, arabic, persian and God know what. But i dont know russian so i wont argue on that part. But i do know DA is russian word, means YES? Swahili say DA when they want to express shock. e.g if one witnessed a car accident, he will say DAH! And the other words used in swahili language that resembles with arabic is , Zahabu, Ahsante, kitabu, kalamu – and many other words tht it will take time for me to remember at this time.
