Background
Answers to Agent Jake Baird's Questions
1) How did you hear about the EVOKE network, and what made you decide to join?
From a Friend – Siena Anstis. She sent me mail telling me about EVOKE and asking me whether I was interested in Joining. I read about it more on the Blog and sounded interesting! Now, here I am!
2) Name one person on here you got to know or would like to get to know?
Well, if I started mentioning, the list is ENDLESS! I don’t know anyone personally on the network. But there are very
many people who are inspirational. Every time I read their posts, I see the
power to build a better tomorrow.
In simple terms, I would like to know and hear from those innovative visionaries - you!!
3) What is the worst crisis to you in the world currently that requires Evoke's attention?
The Digital Divide! The GAP between the INFORMATION HAVES and HAVENOTS.
The world is currently registering major political, social and economic developments and setbacks. The information age
is demanding for creation of more information recourses. And sharing of more
information. It’s a big shame that in many communities this need has not been realized.
And in some communities access remains a very big challenge.
In my opinion, information access and networking is the climbing step to solving a wide range of crises in the world.
4) What is your background? Where were you raised, city or farm?
I am a Ugandan born and raised here in Uganda. I spent the first 10 years of my life
in a small trading centre in Masaka district. My parents were civil servants so
they worked on appointments. I sort of grew up on a FARM and the City. I was brought up in a small trading center where agriculture was the major economic activity. And Later to the city.
I have spent the past 18 years in School. Education is key here. I have gone through Primary, Ordinary and Secondary and recently
completed my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Two years ago I go
actively involved in the ICT4 Development sector here in Uganda. Working
closely with the communities with more emphasis on the Youth.
I am very enthusiastic about communities, Technology and Development. Over the years I have facilitated as an ICT practical skills
trainer on using ICTs to access and disseminated information. With special interest
in New Media and Youth, also analyzing the DIGITAL DIVIDE and how its impacting
the Youth.
5) Find a quote that inspires you that might inspire others.
Some people struggle to find happiness, others CREATE IT!

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.
