We begin this roundup with a very cute video by the GV swahili bridge-blogger Ndesanjo, he shares this video in his post on Video blogging. It is of a young boy playing Bob Marley Songs like ‘Get up, Stand up’. He will be doing a swahili series giving step by step instructions on how to video blog. This will be a welcome addition to his step by step instruction for swahili speakers on how to blog. This is doubly important and greatly appreciated, since Swahili is a major language in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania), and parts of Sub sahara Africa.
