Eric and his wife Kristi arrived Buea on Tuesday July 6, 2010 to volunteer with HINT for about 6 months.
Eric comes to join the rest of the team on the on-going School PCs Project.
This is what Eric says about himself:
I got my undergrad at the University of Texas in Computer Science in 2004. I’ve worked as a software engineer for the past 6 years building simulators for aircraft. I will be there for 6 months starting July 6. I’m interested in international development and the digital divide. I heard about this opportunity through idealist.org and coincidentally found out Genesis was good friends with a co-worker of my brother-in-law…small world.
While Eric will be focusing on the IT Project, Kristi will put her fundraising and project proposal writing skills to work and help us hpefully get more resources for our on-going projects.
Through DevelopAfrica.org and Firsrgiving.com, they have been able to realize more than $3,000 that will go towards supporting the School PCs Project. Thank you Eric and Kristi for your support. We look forward to working with you.
