RE: Virtual Conferences,Keeping Track of Technology Accomplishments On Line, and funding for Homeless.
In 1998-99 MIT but together youth from 36 countries with 16 different languages to talk about World Problems, they called it the Junior Summit. Please take a look at the success of this program, which is still producing a worldwide youth generated magazine at http://www.tcfn.org/jrsummit/RoadTest.htm. Nickole Evans participated in the Junior Summit in 1998 and realized that to be heard and remembered she needed to keep a log of her volunteer efforts and work. See www.y2kyouth.org for her activities, including "Building a Chain of Hope" for the Katrina Victims. Nickole Evans is the daughter of the founders and co-mangers of the RECA (Realizing Every Community Asset) Foundation that has been "Bridging the Digital Divide" since 1992 on a shoe string in southeast Washington State. What the Katrina Victims need now is a computer and Internet connection in their homes so they can keep in touch with others. What we all need to evaluate in our communities is how to get computers and Internet access to the poor of our community. There has been some funds coming into the communities under the "Homeless" catagory. These funds can be used to obtain computers and Internet access for the Katrina Victims and for Homeless shelters. Together we can make a difference.
