In an African Minute

The title of a blog of a random guy I met in on my way to Northern Uganda..of Jewish of descent. We had an animated discussion about life, politics, Africa, and of course, religion. He explained why he does not believe in the Messiah of Jesus Christ, but happened to be reading the book of Job and reflecting on it when we spoke. The long post bus ride from Kampala to Gulu was made easier by my riding companion who had much to say about his interests, passion and ideas for promoting sustainable development in Uganda.

Josh is currently working for USAID and founded an organization for youth abroad to encourage them to contribute their skills, passion and energy to investing in Africa...Here is his blog: http://inanafricanminute.blogspot.com/

He's applying to Columbia and other policy schools for the coming year - sorry Josh, if you're reading this and I let the cat out of the bag! Amazed that I haven't offended him yet with all my Jesus-talk; but so be it. Good luck to ya, Josh and stay in touch.
