Update; Winnie the College Student

Dad has been doing a very poor job in keeping this site up to date.  Winnie is currently attending Ndejja University and is studying Mass Communication.  It is a small college, with a Mass Comm department of about 20 students and, naturally, Winnie is running things by now.  She is emphasizing radio and TV; I already know that she’s a natural there.  My first trip in, I had her interview some of the kids and she was amazingly natural; l really need to get those interviews on You Tube.  She interviewed people at MADE as well; give her a camera and a microphone and she’ll rule the country.  I truly believe old Dad will have to plan on working as a campaign worker/bodyguard someday; she’ll likely run for office and will need protection, as she has very strong opinions about corruption.

I’ll update this entry later; it’s 10pm Sunday night and I’ve still got code to write.

UPDATE (10/21/08): Winnie had an article published in a magazine there! A ‘published auther’ now.   I told her she’d have to get at least three extra copies of the magazine; Dad wants 2 and she needed to take at least one to her farmer mom (her real mother, who did a fantastic job raising her through great adversity.)

Her school (Ndejja University) has now been accredited internationally, so the should get in some visiting profs from Kenya and the like that will benefit the overall program (which already was pretty good).
