Can We Learn To Applaud Each Other?

This is Joy Tang’s most important question! I love it! And I hope we can …

I’ve met Joy this year in August at Makers Faire in Accra, Ghana. Together with 10 students from Taiwan, who spent a month in Winneba (about 50 km west of Accra), Joy was working for oneVillage Foundation. oneVillage Foundation, founded by Joy, is a global nonprofit organization using innovative approach to deliver the power of technology and information to people in the developing countries, giving them valuable tools for building better lives. She is active in sustainable education and development, promotion of indigenous culture heritage, creation of ecotourism as social enterprise and designing appropriate information and communication technology (ICT) devices and solutions to facilitate collaboration and learning.

We had a lot of fun in Ghana as you can see here and here and I felt like I have met Joy before. Without knowing each other but having common friends and interests within our virtual network we were immediately connected. And I am very happy that Joy is joining our “conversation” …
We did the entire conversation vis SKYPE, it was early afternoon in Germany and 9 pm in Taipeh, Taiwan.
