The Urge to See and Know Africa Read now

Hi Pam,

Sometimes, I have the great urge to push off to the rural heartland of an African country and spend some months understanding people and development.

Although India itself offers a great variety of developmental challenges and learnings, I find Africa a more fascinating place to be in for understanding the interplay of development and anthropology in a cultural context different from mine.

By going there, I hope to get a closer feel of people belonging to ancient cultures and traditions, and a land rich in pristine biodiversity.

I would also like to see whether development is going to change the lives of these people-- for the better or worse.

Hi Vijay

I'm glad you like the idea of the website as our "reception area", and the fact that it will link through to the "back offices". I can understand your confusion about Dadamac. I believe that as the reception area begins to link up better with the "back offices" things will become clearer. Meanwhile your questions will help me to know what I should try to collect from the "back offices" for people to see when they first "arrive here".

Your questions and observations are all very useful. Thanks too for mentioning that you got the "Oops page". This is helpful feedback, I will let our tech people know.

Hi Pam,

Thanks for your reply.

I am able to access the site now more easily, although I got an OOPs! page twice when I clicked on the Dadamac url.

Thanks, your answers gave me a good idea of how the site will evolve over a period of time. I liked the concept of a reception area, which will link up to various ‘back offices’ of the site. You rightly said that Dadamac will be driven by the interests and energy of the community.
