Someone asked me recently how I thought Africans were responding to the Kony2012 video, since I am in Liberia. I was at a loss for explaining how invisible Kony still is in Liberia, despite the global viral whatnot. There’s a clamor to get Kony captured to stand trial; this is a country still waiting to see what the verdict of international tribunals might mean, about a leader far more people know — and many here still care about.
Anyway, here’s a quick post from the Todee, Liberia, where I spent the day with journalist Mae Azango and several trained traditional midwives. They know something I bet most of us don’t: how to get a woman in labor to a local clinic, more than an hour away by foot, when no one owns a car.
RSS/email readers, if you see this, could you let me know? I heard there was a problem… just drop me a comment if this hits your inbox. Thanks!
Came through loud and clear on google reader!

So that’s what has been happening!
I have been lazy enough to think that the RSS feed into Google reader was working even when I hadn’t seen a post from you for ages. Then today TEN posts showed up, all dated March 14 although they had been posted beginning in February 2.
Ain’t technology grand?
Turns out this is a good trick to look more prolific than I am 🙂
