A crash course in changing the world.
I chose Derek Lomas who is a volunteer for PLAYPOWER. PLAYPOWER is a foundatin created in 2008 to foster development. What it does is it takes uneducated kids arond the world and they give them games to play that helps them learn at the same time. Kids like this want to learn badly and they want to have fun too. I think Derek made a great decision volenteering for PlayPower and I respect him because he must have cared very much about these kids' education. I hope he continues doing his best.
Currently I am shadowing him on www.twitter.com, his page and his blog on www.playpower.com
Here is some information of Derek found on a web site. There is also the exact link to his twitter page and his page and blog on www.playpower.com :
Derek Lomas – Playpower Foundation Education / Technology The Playpower Foundation was created in 2008 to foster development of affordable, effective and fun learning games for under-privileged children around the world. Motivated by the availability of ultra-low-cost computers, Playpower has cultivated a global network of developers, designers, academics, NGOs and businesses to participate in the research, development and distribution of learning games that will help bring education to children in Bottom-of-the-Pyramid settings.
