Last year I was ranked as the third most active member on TakingITGlobal. It always gives me a reason to go back and to continue exploring and contributing to the community. One of my proudest achievements is having my “Npower,” be an inspiration to many other projects now tagged under the “Nigerian Dream.” I have begun to see TakingITGlobal as an academy of leaders-in-waiting and as the master key to the global village.

Jag blir inspirerad av alla människor som jobbar för förändring. Allt från elevrådsaktiva i Avesta till de orangea revolutionärerna i Ukraina. Jag uppskattar mycket att sitta och prata med en person som verkligen gjort skillnad.
När man arbetar med förändringsarbete, så är inspirationen enormt viktig. Att känna att man faktiskt kan nå sina drömmar och göra världen till en bättre plats är enormt häftigt. ( ler mais)

I remember stating in a past survey that TIG is an unending miracle in my life; and I still stand by my words. TIG has done so much for me and my community by extension and I believe it is still doing more. I am very grateful.

Wadi Al-Hitan, Whale Valley, in the Western Desert of Egypt, contains invaluable fossil remains of the earliest, and now extinct, suborder of whales, the archaeoceti. These fossils represent one of the major stories of evolution: the emergence of the whale as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal. This is the most important site in the world for the demonstration of this stage of evolution. It portrays vividly the form and life of these whales during their transition. The number, concentration and quality of such fossils here is unique, as is their accessibility and setting in an attractive and protected landscape. The fossils of Al-Hitan show the youngest archaeocetes, in the last stages of losing their hind limbs. They already display the typical streamlined body form of modern whales, whilst retaining certain primitive aspects of skull and tooth structure. Other fossil material in the site makes it possible to reconstruct the surrounding environmental and ecological conditions of the time.
