Hi Owen, on a different note (than the internet issues), we may have to work together while/if I am sent to AA. I am with the French foreign service. I am currently in Pretoria working on domestic political issues. Best.

Hello Owen
I currently volunteer for the governance working group of a non-profit organisation called Advocates for International Development (http://www.a4id.org/) here is a brief description of its work:
A4ID facilitates free legal assistance to civil society, developing country governments, social enterprise and bar associations to help achieve the UN MDGs
In the past the A4ID governance working group has been involved in projects such as:
*Reporting the Charles Taylor Trial – Training for the Liberian and Sierra Leonean Press
*Collaboration between A4ID and the Lao Bar Association (LBA)
Please take a look at the website and let me know if you think A4ID could be of assistance to you.
I wish you all the best with your work.
Kind Regards
James

Hi Owen!
My company develops language learning software. I’m looking for people in Ethiopia who have an interest in video to make some simple videos in Amharic, which will be integrated in our product. Naturally, we’ll pay. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in this, please let me know.
Best,
Gary

Happy to find your blog and I’m very impressed by your resume. My focus is East Africa and as part of my research I see room for substantial improvement in what seems to be a balkanized aid/fair trade advocacy industry. Hope to learn a lot from you.

Dear Owen,
I have accidently come upon your name and work while reading an article on Philanthropy. What I noticed is that we share the last name of Barder. My grandparents came to the U.S. at the beginning of the 20th century from what was then Yugoslavia (Croatia and Slovenia specifically) and the original name was Brdar. The name was “Ellis Island-ized” by the U.S. immigration people as they did to so many foreigners coming in. So I doubt that we are related but thought I would send you a post to see.
