While some designers of mobile phone applications focus on enabling people to play Pac-Man or Tetris during their morning commute, several natives of Africa are trying to use the technology to help solve some of the continent's larger problems.
Amos Gichamba, an app designer who grew up on a dairy farm in central Kenya, came up with a practical application for a mobile phone program after realizing that impoverished farmers were selling short on their crops because they didn't know the market worth of their goods, CNN.com reports.
The call came from the U.S. Department of Defense in 2006.
A young Marine from Melbourne, Florida, had been wounded in Iraq. Could I fly him home from Camp Lejeune, in North Carolina?
A couple months earlier, still getting used to retirement, I’d gone to my V.A. office in Minneapolis and volunteered to fly injured servicemen and women for free so they could reunite with their families or their units.
I was a wounded veteran, myself—an old Army helicopter pilot in Vietnam—and owned a plane.
My older brother Parc is athletic and outgoing. Surfing, skating, snowboarding—you name it and he’s stoked.
So when he came home from college break a few years back and I caught him crocheting a hat I wondered what was up. Was my cool brother really crocheting? “How’d you learn to do that?” I asked.
“A bunch of people are crocheting at school. You should try it; it’s fun.” I’d always thought everything my older brother did was cool. Maybe he was on to something—so I gave it a try.
Kids today are said to be members of the "TV Generation." But I come from a lost generation of Americans who were the "Radio Generation."

Mother and Daddy loved blueberries, but blueberries were expensive. This was the beginning of “Daddy’s Blueberries.”
As far as I knew, Daddy had never grown anything in his life. One day he brought six blueberry plants home from work and announced he was going to plant them in the “extra lot.” My first thought was, “Yes, sure you are.”

People are surprised when they learn I have my own cookie business, with my own name on the packages and a contract with a bakery.
After all, I’m only 16 years old and still in high school. I never set out to go into business. What I really wanted to do was help the homeless.
But as I look back on it now, I see that something much bigger was happening.
I came home from school one afternoon to find my mother reading an announcement in our temple bulletin. A homeless shelter in nearby Bridgeport was asking for food donations.

The newsroom phones were ringing, the news wire clattering, keyboards clicking, reporters and editors yammering—it all made my heart race. I was a reporter for the Wheeling News-Register in Wheeling, W. Va. My beat covered anything from fires and break-ins to local politics. Plus the occasional "soft" human-interest story.

I am an education professor at Central Christian College. Sometimes when I'm teaching a class full of glassy-eyed, bored students, or when I'm stuck in an interminable faculty meeting, I feel like calling it quits and heading for home. It's times like those I remember a fishing trip I took with my dad in 1956, when I was 12 years old.
