What a fabulous way to teach others. This is a snippet from a Deutsche-Welle item.
Liberian blogger uses blackboard to inform
Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Sirleaf is driven by a passion to informWithout a computer or a printing press, Alfred Sirleaf publishes daily news in Liberia's capital Monrovia. Motivated by the poverty that surrounds him, his mission is to provide people with free access to information.
Sirleaf is the creator of Daily Talk - a newspaper measuring two by three meters. It consists of three huge slate boards, which hang from a hinge outside his shack. Just before rush hour, he writes the news of the day up on these boards.
The project has been running for 10 years now, and Sirleaf calls himself the Blackboard Blogger. He is without doubt the first of his kind in Africa, and perhaps the world.
