In 2010, I had an opportunity to do a Networked Nonprofit workshop in Kenya.

This money was donated via MPESA (mobile money) contributions.

blogger, even though I do end up talking a fair bit about it anyway. 2 admin 11.10.07 at 9:00 pm Well, for one thing, I should have used mutually exclusive questions instead of checkboxes.
