Traveled RouteAfrica Heart Beat is an eight month long journey from South Africa to Morocco visiting and writing about ordinary people who came to Africa to do extraordinary things.
Many stories worth telling go untold. Many lessons we should be learning go unlearned. In a spirit that "a man's grasp should always be slightly shorter than his reach," I plan to write about a last surviving monastery in North Africa, a rehabilitation center for ex-slaves in Sudan, volunteer psychologists helping PSSD sufferers in Rwanda, an organization helping albinos and protecting them from violence in Tanzania, and an organization providing two wheel transport to doctors in rural Zambia, among others. In these twenty stories I will be asking people why they do what they do and how these project, organizations and individuals are perceived by local community.
Project Mission:
- Bring awareness of ordinary people doing extraordinary things in Africa.
- Inspire readers to: help, participate, or undertake journeys on roads less traveled.
- Learn and educate about the realities of living in multi-cultural, multi-religious societies.
- Bring hope and support to those creating and participating in those projects.
- Increase knowledge of issues in Africa.
- Dispersing myths about Africa.
