	Description:		Not long ago a global corporation decided it wanted to help children in the southern African nation of Namibia -- and so it spent millions to donate scores of new computers and television sets for the classrooms in a particular region of the country. They should have talked to someone like Jonathan Johnnidis first. The rural aid worker had information the large corporate benefactor apparently did not -- that there is no electricity grid in that area. Johnnidis and others talked about aid initiatives in Africa during a panel discussion on ”New Partnerships in Business and Leadership Development ” part of the recent 15th annual Wharton Africa Business Forum.
