Some of my customers are from Kenya, Burundi, Tanzania, France, etc! While at the event, I had a live radio interview with Toni from the  NBC radio. I was also booked for the newspaper interview next week. I'm so excited! The greatest things are yet to come. 2012 is going to be a wonderful year!

Baby Shower!

When I left Namibia about 10 years ago, I knew nothing about baby shower/at least I saw it on TV. Luckily I had a surprise Baby shower when in was expecting my first  baby in the US. It was an excellent experience. This was my first Baby shower experience. My friends had planned it for me and all the time  I was smiling not sure what to expect, but I loved all the surprises. I was given a lot of goodies for my first baby and for me to take care of myself after the baby. We played fun games of which I still remember. This is one of the good memories I'll treasure. I told myself that when I return to Namibia, I'll be the one to organize good baby showers for my friends. Since I came back, I went to one baby shower. It was good, but they did it much different from the ones I knew in US. There were no games at all. There were a lot of food, and the baby's present of cause, but I just felt that there was not much fun! Now I have a friend of mine who need a baby shower. I got the list of most of her other friends. All I need to do is organize her baby shower. Wish me luck. I will report back.

ICT Telecom Summit Namibia 2011

Last week I was invited to the ICT Telecom Summit at the Safari Hotel! This was my first time here since this annual event  started about 3 years ago,  when I was in the US. This conference main purpose is to bring all different kinds of people and companies together in the IT industry. Here I had a chance to learn about the new, and future innovations in the Tech sector. Interesting enough some of the stuff I learned a couple years ago in the US, were considered as new in Namibia. according to one of the speakers, in the western world, one can transfer a skype call to a landlines or cell. I have done that already about 3 years ago in the USA this is not new to me. Facebook was also used as a great example for business. I have to admit that FB can be distracting, yet its a powerful tool if used accordingly. I sold books to friends and to strangers via facebook.
Yes there were many great things I learned. Like more on  the IT buzz word cloud computing. It's here where I learned the different kinds of cloud computing, (Private, Public, Hybrid and much more), and learned the details on cloud computing. Window 8 is coming soon!!!! It has some cool stuff, neat User Interface. Overall the conference was informative. To learn more visit: ICT Telecom Summit

Happy New Year!

Wow, its already February. My family and I left Kenya December 20, and arrived December 24, 2010. We drove from Nairobi, Tanzania, Zambia to Namibia. When my hubby first suggested we drive to Namibia, I didn't like the idea, until one day a Namibian living in Kenya told us that she drove from Nairobi to Namibia. This was a fun experience. I promise to post pictures and publish a short book based on this journey. We're all fine. More updates coming soon:)
