Hi Richard,
Small world! It's lovely here in Encinitas - and I pass by Carlsbad every day on my way to work in Oceanside. I'm looking forward to learning more about this resource. I think we have a lot of interests in common. My dissertation was based on a collaborative media project I started that partnered teens from Hawaii and Kenya (based in Kenya). I am currently working on a global innovation game and I'd love to share it with you and get your feedback.
Sounds great and i would like to be part of the team,especially on matters to do with youth empowerment and governance
Hello Richard am so sorry that i did not manage to reply to you back for a long time, it is because i changed my work with that organisation that i first posted, but currently i have my own organisation and have just edited my information. my organisation is
Abaana Community Outreach Africa (ACO-Africa)

@Richard; amazing work indeed I'll get in touch with him and you via email :) Thanks much!
Hi Richard,
Not sure if Susan told you, but I am part of the Advisory Board for the Darfur Sisterschool Program with the Enough Project, in DC. If there is a way I could get word out through this avenue, it would be great.
Thank you so much! I'm excited to begin looking through your projects
Thankyou for approving my membership,let me check the Kenyan group and join immediately
Richard, it was so good to hear from you. I continue to pray for you, your family and your ministry. God bless your richly!! Judy
Hi Richard, I am so sorry getting back to you so late. I was busy with research on my final Thesis at the University. Yes I am sure we can collaborate on many levels. Let us keep in touch. As you might know, I am also a musician, animator and designer so I am optimistic about great possibilities with you.Cheers and have a blessed week.
Hi Richard,
I'm now ED Emeritus with iEARN-USA, but working part-time. I'm now the Director of the Global Campaign for Education-USA in DC. Would love to hear more about the new initiative.
Ed
