Submitted by David Mutua on 23 October, 2010 - 05:01

Dear Friends,

I appeal to you all to support my Teachers Talking Project idea at Africa Rural Connect, a program of the American National Peace Corps Association. The idea is to empower teachers to enter into informed debate and to influence policy regarding ICT in education, investment and development in rural agricultural communities in Kenya.

I am also looking for support, collaborations and networks to expand and replicate this project idea to other rural Kenyan communities and probably Africa that share the same needs.

Three separate but closely related events in the last couple of months suggest that African scholarship on many issues of development seem to still lag behind, decades after a leading Pan-Africanist and the founding president of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere called for Africans to “run while others walk” if we were to catch up in the development game.
