We are looking for a business or company which provides broadband in Sierra Leone, ideally wireless or mobile broadband (to use with a laptop computer) in Freetown, Sierra Leone, for Street Talent Productions in order to better communicate between the people in the UK and the Street Talent team in Sierra Leone. We have located [...]

I have just finished a short piece about the new Street Talent Productions website that we helped to send online yesterday over at the ‘corporate’ website, and felt that there were some areas I would like to write a little more about on a personal level.

Mercer, the Economist and some large governmental organisations compile these. We have picked out some titbits of relevant information and put all of the useful [...]
