Just an FYI, wanted to share a opinion we did this week for Huffington Post (please feel free to cross-post) about our travels in Lilongwe, Mozambique. We blog everyday from all over Africa at a website call Border Jumpers (http://www.borderjumpers.org) and for the Worldwatch Institute's Nourishing the Planet (http://blogs.worldwatch.org/nourishingtheplanet/). Here is the link: "1,000 Words About Mozambique" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bernard-pollack/1000-words-about-mozambiq_b_476747.html All the best, Bernard Pollack and Danielle Nierenberg
