Another news item from Martin Geissler around Albino’s being hunted and killed to bring luck.

I’m not sure how to comment?

Albinos hunted for luck

On Friday I posted the first of two news stories created by a good friend of ours, Martin Geissler. He’s just got back from Somalia, and sent us two clips from his trip.

Definitely worth watching. Definitely worth spending some time reflecting on the state of our planet and the people (us) who inhabit it. And mostly on how some of us have a far better world than many of us.

Here’s the link to the video on YouTube

Kids bearing brunt of Somalian chaos

A good friend of ours (a dad of one of Jordi’s friends) works for ITV News. His name is Martin Geissler and he’s their Africa Correspondent. Martin’s recently been in Somalia and put this story (1 of 2) together this last week.

It’s easy to feel safe and comfortable in your own world and be oblivious to what’s going on, and the eventual potential to eventually impact your safe cushy world.

Certainly worth hanging around to watch.

Somalia – a safe haven for Alqaeda?

A good friend of ours, Martin Geissler, who’s family we met through Jordi’s friendship with their daughter, has a blog I discovered today. Martin is the Africa Correspondent for ITV News, comes from Scotland, and even has a Wikipedia entry (pretty kewl in my books).

Martin has some amazing stories from his travels through mostly Africa, recently, and many parts of the world, as he covers what’s happening, exploding, and making news.

His latest entry is titled ‘Crap Shoot’, which as he explained, is one of those ‘behind the scenes’ stories that will never make the news, but certainly is worth reading. A great story.

As you’d expect, he has a Twitter profile, and for those interested you can follow him here.
