Almost all of my blog posts have some reference to Africa. It, therefore, makes sense to bring you greetings from Africa, Karibu (welcome).

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.

What am I doing here? Why chase the donkeys?
Read more: What am I doing here? Why chase the donkeys?“What am I doing here?” It’s a question all of us have, at one time or another, asked ourselves. As I wrote in my famous-in-my-mind story about Bollywood, I’ve wondered over the years what I am doing here, serving as a missionary? What is it that keeps me here? Why do I think that I…
