Evoke should focus on issues in different countries - not only in africa - that are third world countries. They should focus on issues like political problems and fundamentalist groups instead of things like food security and stuff. I would not really encourage anyone to play Evoke, because I didnt really enjoy it. In Season 2, I wish there would be definitely less writing for the agents and allow agents to work together on missions. Like each person in a group work together to do different…

In 2020 I will hopefully have a nice job, where i earn enough money to afford a good house and be able to give my family a good life. I also wish that my family, friends and I stay healthy (It would be great if I still would be able to play actively football). Furthermore it would be very nice to keep in touch with my friends i currently have and meet new friends. I think i wont have any special skills that would help Alchemy when he/she/it calls to take action in the tokyo food crisis, but…

The first secret is trust

The traditional knowledge I chose to pick this week comes from the indigenous women of Oaxaca, Mexico.

INDIGENOUS WOMEN HEALERS FORMED GROUPS TO PRACTICE TRADITIONAL MEDICINE IN OAXACA (MEXICO)

After bitter struggles with official associations of physicians, traditional medicine people, mostly women, finally were able to organize joint meetings in which they shared their experiences and set up plans for collaboration. As a direct result, indigenous women benefitted…

I want to shadow Tori Hogan from http://www.beyondgoodintentions.org. She visits different places all over the world to uncover more innovative and effective approaches to international aid. On the website you can see 10 episodes of the beyond good intentions film series, which cover a variety of themes ranging from the role of aid workers and volunteers, to the potential impact of more innovative approaches to aid through…

I think there is no urgent need for Ushahidi in Brunswiek, although there may exist a few possible scenarios for Ushahidi. There reason for this is that natural disasters like earthquakes, flooding and so on are unlikely to happen here in Brunswiek. The political system is also far away from being unstable and social problems do exsist, but they arent too big to fundamentally segregate the wh*** social system. Nevertheless Ushahidi could be used to deal with epidemic diseases like EHEC,…

The goal of this mission was to find a news story on the womenwatch web site. While I was on this site I discovered something that I thought was of more importance. The site contains a rather comprehensive sub site on the situation in Haiti. There are various topics on this site that have to do with reproductive health and harm reduction. Finding this site made me wonder if…

The company "Renewit" creates many different versions of their solar panel technology to power different object such as cell phones, lights, computers, etc. These technologies are open to everyone, but the company strives to distribute it to places like sub-saharan Africa that don't usually have any power. These are very unique technologies because they are small, therefore very easy to use and convenient to transport. The photo below is one example of the products made by Renewit:…

In germany we dont have serious problems with food security. Nevertheless there are a few people who cant afford to buy enough food form themselves, altough about 20% of the produced food is thrown away! Thats why I want to introduce a local charity organisation, which cares about these people:

The aid organisation "Braunschweiger Tafel e.V." distributes food to the needy from about 60 donors. It was founded 1996 as a long term project. Currently over 6000 people and lots of social…

The tips for innovation in Africa from Ethan Zuckerman, Amy Smith and Paul Polak seem to be useful to understand what it means to be a social innovator. Socal innovation describes innovations, which have direct impact on social problems and conflicts. In this context my favorite secret is "Provide skills, not just finished technologies". To improve the economic and social situation in most of the african countries in the long term they need to be able to handle their problems and conflicts…
