the manifesto!!!
The network serves to empower societies and create nation builders and social reformers through children. It recognizes the need
of a child- likeness character and mentality in change. In giving children a
platform to express themselves and the changes they want to see and implement,
the core ethical consideration is to be on the look out for child exploitation

future of Evoke
I think the next season of evoke should have an episode especially tailor made for scholars between the ages of 7 and 14 years old. As much as I think change is a good thing at any level, l also think that change should start form
grass root levels. If children and young people can be given the opportunity to
be world changers and social innovators then that would go a very long way in
changing the world. There is truth in the…

crisis team
Its 2011, and my heroic effort during this flu pandemic is to rally around a group of social thinkers with a conscious about
the needs of the public, transparency, honesty and trust is how they operate.
They have been trained how to work well under immense pressure and how to
control unrest within the public, they produce information in a timely manner,

Outbreak Communication: How the Sources See the Story
It is very interesting for me to learn that public trust should be the basis of all kinds of reporting, what I find is common though is nowadays in reporting, there is no conscious involved. Reporters…

board game- physical object
Below is a model picture of the game that I have
created, is a simple children’s game that challenges primary school students to
engage with indigenous knowledge. For instance, after rolling a die, you maybe
asked to either recite traditional poetry or a local proverb and explain what
it means or tell a traditional folk story. As the students advance in… Continue

emergency red booths in the streets of grahamstown
Resilient development in Grahamstown looks like the city having ‘RED ALERT STATIONS’ that look like the red telephone booths in the UK (as the picture above). In every booth there will be a small highly secures computer and a smart phone, this will make it easier for those without internet connection or smart phones to submit their handy hinds for any pending
or already…

2020 and what it holds for female farmers
By the year 2020, the female farmers in Ghana would have progressed from subsistence farming to commercial farming. Their farming would begin to open up new avenues for them, where they can also interact with the world at large and get more money and independence. With trading internationally and exposure to these new areas means these women are also improving themselves intellectually and getting educated. As they tap into this level of interaction with the world, they will also strive to…

empowerment through facebook
My plan is a simple one, to create a facebook page for empowering women. The plan is not to teach people only, but also to give them a forum to first voice out what they know and share it with other people. Also pivotal of this venture would be a timely current update on issues relating to women and women abuse.

WFP buys rice from ghanaian farmers
the story that inspires me is "WFP Buys Rice From Ghanaian Farmers For School Meals". This is a program that seeks to empower farmers, especially female farmers financially. I think this venture is a noble cause and worthy of being noted as financial freedon for women, especially poor, single and abused women makes it easier for them to leave the destructable cycle and to pursue better enriched lives for them and their children.

BAREX SOCIETY
A society, BAREXSOC (barter exchange society) started in 2010 by Rhodes Students

towards sharing through battering and exchanging has extended to all corners of
South Africa & rumour has it that BAREX is extending towards INDIA and
other Asian countries. All that is known is that BAREX was started by… Continue

bartering and exchanging system
seeing that i am a student and i am well acquainted with the needs of students, especially those living in private residences. i could establish a barter society where everyone brings in their old junk (such as radios, tvs, heaters etc) and exchanges with others. the aim here is also to create an atmosphere of communual sharing and giving and experience a togetherness that existed a longtime ago before money was created.

money for the future
So often I have seen a vicious cycle in most of the underprivileged communities
around me. I see women taking initiative which is good, they sell fruits,
clothes, sweets etc but they are forever stuck in their poverty even though
they have been at the business for a while. My solution is therefore to be
proactive about teaching these women how to save and budget… Continue

radical water event
My spectacular event, though a bit drastic would be to launch an international save water protest for 8 hours with people tapping their lips with black tape. The protest will not be open for pregnant women, children, senior citizens and teenagers below 18 years of age.

As an evoke water agent I realize that
there is not a lot I can accomplish in a week especially since our vacation is

the already available water visionary to create awareness on the world water
crisis, so often people only know their water situation and do not know how bad

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
