Wow Africa is an Africa information platform in Taiwan with the goal to promote the understanding of Africa through economic and cultural exchanges. It is also a platform to provide information about Africa to the general public in Taiwan. It bridges the gap between Taiwan and Africa and according to Pepe He Pei-Jia, co-founder and Editor-in-chief of Wow Africa, the media in Taiwan focuses on negative coverage of Africa and her NGO is to break the stereotype of negative perceptions about Africa.
She said, for example, Rwanda, which has been perceived as underdeveloped, has been plastic free since 2008. The African country completely banned the use of plastic bags while other countries started imposing taxes on plastic bags.

虛擬實境是烏干達科技界的未來，還是科創人士的幻覺？
說到虛擬實境，大家聯想到的是一群年輕人戴著 VR頭戴式眼鏡玩線上遊戲，還是醫護人員和機師們透過模擬實境訓練專業技能呢？使用過 VR 的人都知道，設計良好的 VR 體驗確實令人大開眼界，植入式體驗和以往的模擬遊戲或戴上3D眼鏡完全不一樣。難怪許多科技界人士都對 VR 科技充滿信心和期待。如此新穎又尚未大眾化的科技，或許能趁著疫情危機帶起的眾多商機浪潮中，在烏干達捕獲行業發展機會。
喀麥隆新式數位國民身分證變成人民噩夢
對於喀麥隆人來說，國民身份證就像電子郵件帳戶的密碼，沒了它就會遇到很多麻煩，尤其是跨區旅行的時候。但是，喀麥隆新式數位國民身份證的申請流程相當繁瑣、核發時間又極度不確定，說是噩夢也不爲過。
斷交後進入布吉納法索的現場觀察與感想：我們都難過，但咒罵對方無濟於事
布吉納法索在台灣是知名度不高的友邦，我也是因為工作的關係，才會知道世界上有個國家叫布吉納法索。斷交讓布國瞬間全台知曉，同時也瞬間被貼滿「愛錢、絕情、窮國」等負面標籤。我腦海裡閃過無數個在臺的布國朋友臉孔，還有每次斷交社群網路裡必定會出現的酸言酸語，我心疼他們還沒有機會好好地自我介紹，就先被冠上臭名。
兩年一度，屬於烏干達男孩的成年禮
2014年8月我在烏干達東邊一個小鎮 Mbale 參加了兩年一度的割禮成年禮，這是屬於當地男孩 16-20 歲的成年禮，並非所有男孩都能在當天進行割禮，只有來自特定家族的男孩才可以，其他男孩仍可盛裝打扮，前往盛典會場接受眾人以及家族的祝福。肯亞與烏干達總統以及 Mbale 的酋長皆出席這場盛事，安檢做得相當嚴格。
