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.
