I believe that the project has not only empowered me to have a voice of my own in the global media landscape but it has also given a voice to the many people I have interacted with throughout my journey. Many of them have been able to sell their businesses, art, and talent to the rest of the world as well as shared their policies, aspirations, success stories and challenges with the rest of us. It is amazing how much I have been able to achieve with a small Nokia N73 phone.

As part of my participation in the Voices of Africa project, I had the opportunity to travel to South Africa to participate in the Digital Citizen Indaba (DCI) and Highway Africa conference. Over there, I shared my experience on how cell phones can empower digital citizen. My presentation the DCI informed the various delegates from all over Africa about the project. I had several radio interviews concerning mobile phone reporting and many other journalists across Africa expressed interest in joining Voices of Africa. I hope that we will soon have enough sponsorship to extend the project across the whole of Africa.
