I wanted to work in a French speaking African country because that is where my heart has been for a long time. I've worked in Guinea Bissau, West Africa and I hope that one day I'll be able to work in Africa again. For now, I work in the States fo...

Nerdfighters for Change

There's so much suffering in the world, and there's not enough people doing things to change it. This group is for Nerdfighters who do want to help, in all the ways we can. Discuss problems and what we can do to fix them. Not that hard, right?

The Nerds Who Draw Things

Are you an artistic nerdfighter? Do you like to draw, paint, sculpt, build, carve, or mold things into any sort of fashion? Do you do it as a hobby, or maybe even professionally? Maybe you like to just doodle comics? Then this is a group for you!

At 2:32pm on October 30, 2008, Shawn said…: One of the things I had mentioned to Mike is that I'm trying to find a way to make my work financially sustainable. I've basically liquidated my life savings (and dipped into my parents' retirement savings with their permission) to do this project.

I'm hoping to approach businesses with the idea of helping to sponsor and cover some of the costs associated with this project. I was also hoping to attach some letters of recommendation. If Mike's having you replicate/emulate aspects of my approach - you think he'd be interested in writing me a letter of recommendation or endorsement for me?

At 2:28pm on October 30, 2008, Shawn said…: I'm actually in Toronto at the moment visiting family.

I'm not trying to form my own organization or anything like that. I love teaming up with good organizations. Who knows? Maybe an opportunity will present itself in the future...

At 1:30pm on October 30, 2008, Shawn said…: Hi Monique! I had heard of LEAD International from Mike Blondino - who emailed me a while back. I hadn't heard from him recently though - guess he must be busy.

About Me:

I was so excited when I found this site! I have been a nerdfighter in my own way for a long time and now I get to opportunity to tell others! I don't have a personal project, I a work with LEAD International, a non-profit that works in West Africa. Our goal is to teaching others how to become self-sustaining and at the same time help their local economy and social standards. My job is to gethe word out about what we do and find people with the same desire to help others help themselves

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more

The Bible (don't freak, there's a lot of good stuff in there!), The Heart of Darkness, Africa doesn't matter, and many more (some people think I read too much :D )

What's your favorite thing to put on your head?

Hats!!!! All kinds of hats...I LOVE them...my favorite are the floppy ones with a bill

The Development Set (Ross Coggins, 1976)

This poems was written in the 70's, but it seems to fit current issues, not just in the development world. (the words in parentheses are my add ins...sorry I couldn't help it)

Although we move with the better classes

A Funding Circle...

Hi to all my Nerd Fighter friends!!! I have had a challenge put out to me by my boss and I am contemplating on how to go forward with it...What do you think of this idea?

Starting next year we are going to be putting together funding circles, which will be a group of 15-20 people who will give a certain amount of money each year for three years. ALL the money that comes from the circles will go to buying raw cashews for the processing schools in Guinea Bissau and Senegal. The cool thing about t… Continue

Spreading the fire-my story

Ok, here goes my 1st official blog...
Have any of you ever made a fire before? Maybe you and your peeps wanted to do a bonfire on the beach, or you went camping with family, or you wanted to make the coolest Jack-o-lantern ever so instead of a candle you used paint thinner and a paper towel (props to Ben, don't try it at home :D ). Anyways, every fire, both big and small starts with a spark, a tiny flame. Some fires start so small that you have to use your hands to block the wind so it can grow,… Continue
