It has been raining here constantly since yesterday evening, and this morning water was pouring down like from a bucket, forming streams running downhill and filling the potholes on the roads. People here say the rain is a blessing. The rainy season should have started already a month ago, so it’s really overdue.
However, most of us have made it back to class, and the participants are now writing postings to their blogs explaining what topics we covered yesterday.
Here’s some links to the first introductory postings from yesterday.
Lulu George, correspondent of Nipashe newspaper in Tanga, says that before this training she has used the internet only for sending her stories and a daily report to her editor in Dar es Salaam.
Amina Juma of Daily News in Moshi plans that her blog will contain stories about music and musicians and it will also be a platform where people can change ideas on love matters.
Mohamed Msoffe from Radio 5 Arusha wishes that after five days of this training he “will be speaking another language as far as the internet knowledge is concerned”.
For Kiswahili readers, you can go to see the nice introduction of Swalehe Kiluvia from the newly launched Radio Arusha One.
Links to the other blogs are in the column on the right side. All participants are first-time bloggers, and I believe many of them are very eager especially about this part of the training.
