"Joseph Nshimbani promotes eJournalism in Africa, South Pacific and India since 2002. He quickly learned to know CMS eJournal and created one of the first eJournals http://africa.eduprojects.net/nedi/ in the world.
In the following years he continued using eJournals for reporting on events in Vanuatu South Pacific and then in India where he was one of the initiators of the European and Indian eJournal project collaboration of schools, which has developed into EUMIND project, Europe Meets India http://ejournal.eumind.net.
I appreciate Joseph as an innovative young person who has fine visions and a lot of responsibility for the challenges of life and global development."
