Swaziland, Africa - July 2009: Jennifer Sly, Founder of YouthAssets, brought us with her to a number of local homesteads in Swaziland this week. Along the way, Jennifer told us about how she used Google's G1 phone & Google GPS Maps to find a remote homestead of a 12 year old boy she met over 14 months beforehand in rural Swaziland, Africa. Jennifer points out the importance of GPS maps in Africa, noting that in most locations people do not have street addresses.
