the weekend j15-17 of open space in new york i need to take my daughter back to college so i am not clear that I will be able to meet you again before kenya- fortunately amy is much better connected on all relevant african flows due to yazmi and her other main washington dc internships to date; open space due to harrison owen and her mutual concerns for social solutions blossoming wherever youth work
this week in new york friends and I are doing everything we can to make sure new york coding people like kiehl, marinez and cash know your interests and potential to connect with ihub - they also have a lot of events and mobile launches coming up
john hosts 5 days of apps and maths coders workshops at MIT last week of january
his musical friends around the world are due to launch an app that mashes up 100 countries rhythms (i dont understand how) but in an attempt to create a universal song and dance of joy which it was rumored they wanted to launch when berkeley hosts clinton universuity at start of april
desire to set up fablabs in the region ,,,,
amy and I are still working hard to linkin berkeley with new york and in particular give directly that started in berkeley but is now headquartered in new york - if we are right give directly is the biggest app empowering youth to be at the epicentre of youth future development instead of trickle down bottom
also critical to linkin from kenya side is unhabitat as its headquartered in kenya, has lead responsibility for goal 11 sustainable communities and cities- this is the goal that every new yorker i have met finds simplest to start connecting youth with and then through to every other goal
