Hi John,

I think the medical accomplishments would be great to share in terms of
Wikimedia's relevance in humanitarian response. For the UNESCO Mobile
learning week they are looking for presentations on technology that impacts
learners, teachers or education systems. You can check out ineesite.org to
get an understanding of Education in Emergencies and hopefully that will
help you with some ideas :).

all the best,

Nichole
