Ethan interviews Sokari Ekine, “a Nigerian feminist, human rights activist and scholar who blogs from her organic farm in Almeria, Spain, south of Madrid.” (She also writes an African tech blog.) Fascinating. It’s a big world. [Technorati tag: nigeria]

Jean Warner blogs her Volunteers in Mission trip to Kenya, complete with photos, and becomes (whether she knows it or not) a BridgeBlogger. You get a real sense of the country as seen through her very individual eyes.

Jean confesses at the top of the blog:

Before and during our trip to Kenya, this site functioned as a traditional blog, i.e., we posted notes in chronological order. However, now that the trip is over, I have chopped up our notes and reposted them — often along with a photograph, additional information on the topic and one or more links.

Sounds like an excellent way to proceed, especially for a set of blog entries intended to have some internal coherence. It’d take a pretty hard-hearted BlogCop to object that it doesn’t pass the Blog Purity test. [Technorati tag: gv-kenya]
