"Fascinating sounding project unveiled yesterday by the folks at the Committee to Protect Bloggers. The project is called Blogswana and the idea is that they will train 20 university students from Botswana in journalism and blogging, then those students will go into the field once a month and interview some one who does not have access to the web or blogging.

This sounds like a great way to hear directly from people who are suffering without a lot of traditional editorial filters.
Glad you liked the idea - I do too. See also http://interplast.blogs.com for a similar example.
