under african skies

Last summer I made a trip to Botswana to study HIV/AIDS and youth. I expected to come home brimming with stories that needed to be told, quotes buzzing in my mind. I've been left with writers block like none other.

But the itch to return to Africa is back. Though I suppose I could credit it to this superb example of online reporting. This is what online reporting should be. Personal, multi-faceted, moving, informative.

Perhaps my first trip was meant for me to see through my eyes, not the eyes of a reporter. Perhaps my next trip will really let me see the stories that could be told. And perhaps I'll be able to do it that well.
