“My favorite moments are those phone calls from the editor, telling me a great story is unfolding in a remote part of Kenya or elsewhere in the region, and asking very politely if I would mind jumping on the next plane to Zanzibar or Somalia. Needless to say, my answer is always: Yes, I’d love to go.” – Drazen Jorgic. Correspondent, Kenya. Participant 2011
