You can see the blog here: http://www.pambazuka.org/blogs/bawo/index.php?<BR/><BR/>We got some funding, though we really didn't need much. Now we are planning for the next phase. <BR/><BR/>I will be interested in hearing how yours goes.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>OreOrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10230896381942258816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-1163804510313935682006-11-18T00:01:00.000+01:002006-11-18T00:01:00.000+01:00Great idea, how has the project progressed? Is there a link to the new blogger's posts?<BR/>I'm still trying to raise funds for a similar project in Botswana: <BR/>http://blogswana.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-1144227996020135032006-04-05T11:06:00.000+02:002006-04-05T11:06:00.000+02:00@ tori: You think so? In the Nigerian blogosphere, I'm not so sure. I have come across more blogs owned by guys than I have women. The idea of encouraging girls to blog is not just about encouraging them to read and write more, but also to experiment with a relatively accessible technology. If their interest is sufficiently piqued, who knows where it might lead?<BR/><BR/>I would ultimately like to do something for all young people though.Orehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10230896381942258816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-1144181039776751562006-04-04T22:03:00.000+02:002006-04-04T22:03:00.000+02:00Gender Disparity in blogging? I daresay there are many more female bloggers than there are male ones. Just 2 cents. <BR/><BR/>Kudos for the novel idea though. I just wish it was open to young males too. I worry that we [as a civilization] are further promoting the "Women to the Arts, Men to the Sciences" idea. I wouls love to read more men writing just because. <BR/><BR/>Peacetorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01701427129987701796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14973093.post-1142703796228751332006-03-18T18:43:00.000+01:002006-03-18T18:43:00.000+01:00Oh, we definitely will! We have rules and guidelines in place and will be monitoring the young ladies very carefully. In this increasingly digital world, it's important to start developing cyber-savviness at a younger age and that will hopefully be one of this project's outcomes.
