BorderJumpers.org began in October 2009 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia -- when Bernard Pollack and Danielle Nierenberg began a journey to visit nearly every country in Africa. At every stop they are meeting with farmers, community organizers, labor activists/leaders, non-governmental organization (NGOs), the funding and donor communities, and local, regional, and international press.

With a Sony handycam, a 8-year old laptop, and sporadic internet connections â?" their goal is to bring stories of hope from across the region to as large an audience as possible. They will tell the stories that aren't being told--from oil workers fighting to have a union in Nigeria to innovative ways farmers and pastoralists are coping with climate change.
