A year in Mongolia
August 15th, 2006
My brother has always been one of those people who actually goes out and does what many others (including myself) just talk about.
Luke has been involved in the area of social development for some years now and has incorporated his IT background into this field that has allowed him to undertake unique opportunities working with communities to enhance their economic, social and political futures.
Luke left for Mongolia in April to work on the Mongolian Development Gateway. He will be away for a year - the longest he has worked on a international development project.
Luke definitely has all the interest in humanitarian issues while I concern myself with all other animals. I am extremely proud of his achievement in getting this job as I was with his work in Costa Rica and Yuendumu. He takes the Web to places that others only speak of and allows other communities to integrate it into their lives as they see fit.
To find out more about what he is doing check out his blog - his posts are much more interesting than mine!
Fits and starts?

I have no excuses for the level of inactivity on my blog of late.
Yeah sure I have been working hard but I know you all do. So why? Why have I been so quiet? I like to think of my blog as an evolving creature that has long periods of virtual standstill, ‘punctuated’ by episodes of very fast development.
This will probably never change and while it will seem like I have given up on this blog thing, suddenly, out of nowhere, a flurry of posts will arrive.
That is my theory anyway - or maybe it is just an observation…
