Almost all of my blog posts have some reference to Africa. It, therefore, makes sense to bring you greetings from Africa, Karibu (welcome). Click on this link for a YouTube video for a short introduction to our life on the continent.

A lasting impact
My time spent in Africa has had a lasting impact on the content of the blog and its posts. This has resulted in me being a little bit of a cultural enigma. I accept that it is a part of who I am. And rather than feeling strange about it, I have come to love this part of me.

These are covered in the following blog posts. I hope they are a source of encouragement for you.
