Interesting school! If I come for the ISOC Chapter reunion earlier that, maybe I will be able to attend this School as well. Need to check very well the dates.

Thanks for the nice words Sala. As you can guess there are many people who have worked to get us this far. Nnenna, Towela Nyirenda Jere, Nnenna Nwakanma, Emilar Vushe, Dorothy Gordon, Makane Faye among others. We have had lots of moral and other support from the European School people (Wolfgang, Avri, Bill) and from Diplo.
Babatope, I checked the link and it does work.. but one needs to be careful not to include the *.
Here it is again, in Tiny URL and long form:
