Erik of whiteafrican.com and ushahidi.com paid us a generous visit today. He grew up as a missionary kid in Sudan and Kenya, attended RVA and now lives with his family in Orlando. Every few months he makes a visit to Nairobi for various meetings, developments and conferences. His specialty could probably be wrapped up in the title of a panel he took part in at SXSW, Africa 2.0. He is plugged into the Africa blogsphere and tech landscape. With a keen understanding of Africa, his first home, and western business models, he is able to understand ‘best practices’ of meshing the two together in this new world of ours mixed up in the technology of communication and business in a very unconnected world, that is Africa.

(Erik, I hope I got that about right)
