It’s a sad reality that many well-known organizations, including many Fortune 500 companies, still don’t understand the value of organic search. Even some businesses with multi-million dollar paid search budgets have focused little effort in optimizing their sites for organic search. The fact is these organizations are failing to capitalize on a major acquisition channel, and while they have yet to adopt search engine optimization (SEO) as a legitimate and standard marketing practice, their competitors are reaping the benefits.

Unique strength of Africa and its people.
In most cases Africa may lack the physical resources to meet various needs in the society but definitely not the brain power on how to go about solving the problems.

As today is Gandhi’s birthday, I thought I would share this quote, which I think applies to the discussion.
“I am wedded to India because I owe my all to her. I believe absolutely that she has a mission for the world. She is not to copy Europe blindly.” - Gandhi
I think a similar thing could be said of each part of Africa, etc… - there is a mission to fulfill for the world.
A very powerful contribution Ueli! This is indeed the attitude we should take, honest, frank, open to criticism, and use it in own circles to lobby for a change in attitude among those that have a bit more (money or political or otherwise) power!?
