How to get noticed in a sea of thousands: Report from Kabissa Africa Roundtable with Sonja Lehner, GlobalGiving (3/19/2014)

What an inspiring, educational, and motivating roundtable this was!

Were you one of the 62 registered participants who ended up not tuning in? If you are reading this it means you either represent an organization, you strive for change and are an agent for change, or you a are looking for ways to make a difference. What ever your reasons, this report is relevant to you. And, for those who turned up, representing Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana and the Kabissa team, I think this was one of the most relevant discussions I have ever participated on.

The gist of the roundtable was looking at 'story telling as a medium for enticing change'. We all either know how to tell stories or enjoy reading and hearing stories. As you listen to a story, do you find yourself looking for something you can identify with? Most of us do.

Now imagine story telling in the world of development aid and fundraising.
