I’ve used a number of channels at Stanford University to recruit volunteers for the DHBP. So far 10 people have shown interest, some students and some professionals working in the area.

I presented the DHBP at a meeting of the Stanford African Students Association.
The presentation kicked off with a screening of the hero book documentary Three in a Zillion by Maital Guttman, followed by a Q&A around the DHBP.
The evening ended with a discussion of HIV/Aids in different African countries, as related by the experiences of students who’ve lived, worked or served on the continent.

An open house was held to kick-off another year at the Digital Vision Program. More than 80 members of the program’s Silicon Valley network came out to formally welcome the 20 new DV Fellows, including some of the partners who make the program possible - the Reuters Foundation, SAP, and Motorola - and our speakers from that day (Susan Davis, Ashoka and Ajit Jaokar).More photos by Adam Tow. |
