Cell Phones in Africa

Click on the above title to read an article on cell phone usage in Africa. We were amazed when we came for the medical mission in 2004 and found cell phones in use all over Namwianga. Communication has improved dramatically! The villages, however, still do not have access. We take a satellite phone with us when we go for outreaches so that we will have some way to get help if there is an emergency.

Cell phones have become even more popular since you left. Here in Austin, at Lamar and Parmer, they have put in cell phone "towers" on two of the major power line poles. One on the southeast corner and one on the southwest corner. I guess they ran out of room in other planes!
