Another quick update on the progress of my service project with YAM (or MAJ in French) - the youth organization connected to ASBEF that I'm working with here in Dakar. Computers are actually cheaper here than I expected, and so we are looking to buy a couple desktops and a couple laptops for YAM to store documents and better record and evaluate activities "in the field" (out in the neighborhoods). I am really excited about this step, because it will mean that MAJ can start saving all its documents onto a hard drive and not just have hand-written reports of activities that hopefully get handed-down year after year.
MAJ now has a Twitter, so if interested, please follow them at: @MAJ_Senegal, or for the full URL: www.twitter.com/MAJ_Senegal. We are also scaling-up other social media projects, especially with the International Conference on Family Planning coming to Dakar in November! I helping them to set up a Google+ account and a YouTube channel to better broadcast videos of their activities and reach more youth. Stay tuned for more updates!
