Jen Shaffer's Comments

Hi there! thanks for adding me, really mean it. I like your posts, I think we can make a good team someday ;-). Ternura

thanks for your comment re: trying to figure out our roles, Jen. I've *really* stepped back in the last week -- for lots of reasons. Needing to step up my attention to responsibilities at home, feeling overwhelmed with this "game", not feeling like I had a meaningful contribution on the power mission [and not wanting to submit posts as "busywork" just to meet the letter but not the spirit of the challenge] and -- i hate to admit -- a nascent cynicism about some of it. i haven't exactly quit evoke yet -- but i am going into watcher mode...

hello Jen, sustainable and renewable are for sure the mid to long term goal, thanks

Hey Jen, yes these are just burlup sacks made of sisal. The project was started in Kenya by a French non-profit Solidarite - http://www.solidarites.org/ which offers additional info in both English and French.

i LOVE this sentence from your quest: "I am not afraid to stick my neck out and make a fool of myself if it will help someone or help me learn something that might eventually help someone."

thanks for the reminder. we shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes.

Hey Jen! I look forward to EVOKE-ing with you. You seem to have some amazing ideas and this is only the beginning!

Absolutely. I am in!

Olá, muito prazer também Jen! I studied resilience in regional development and I delivered my PhD thesis in the beginning of the year! I used a portuguese region (Alentejo) as case study! I saw in profile several common key words ... adaptation, anticipation, learning ... nice! And Mozambique (never been there) must be an amazing place for "resilience thinking"! We'll keep in touch!

I love your profile too Jen :D I think we will have much to say :D

Hey Jen Thanks for the add ... Even in our first days we have already taken steps for change just by meeting everyone from EVOKE. I look forward to working with you and all of the other agents!

BRING IT !!!!!!!!!

Mentoring is for selecting agents to follow. You receive alerts via e-mail when they post a new blog, video, picture, etc.

Thanks so much Jen, im LOVING the fact that we are building meaningful relationships and are focussing on quality, not quantity! for some reason.. I don't think I'll be seeing much of the SA sun over the next ten weeks:) but it's already proving worth it in the connections I am making via this 'giant elder' internet, take care Jen

Thanks Jen. I love your self-description as well and it's such a great pleasure meeting such an interesting EVOKE agent. looking forward to collaborating with you all through the EVOKE journey! :)

Hey thanks for the add! I'm usually not attracted to things like this, but i think it is going to be a great learning experience and i'm hoping to gain some skills from it. Because i doubted sticking to this for the wh*** 10 weeks, I've recruited my brother to do it as well to make sure i don't get lazy and drop out. Send a friends request to Vincent Aceron. He's a smart guy with a great personality, and should have some interesting evidence! Take care.

Me too! This is going to be a great experience!
