This village had no access to clean water, food, education or health services. They were drinking dirty puddle water and eating the frogs attracted by the rainy season in order to live.

If you remix some ways to take action into it via Social Actions - then you'll have a bonafied and super fun submission!

Summary: Focuss.Info is a platform that is launched for and maintained by partner organizations as well as students, researchers and individual practitioners working in the field of global development cooperation, research and education. These parties are collaboratively enhancing the visibility and accessibility of valuable electronic resources in the field of global development cooperation by, on one hand, storing them in a dedicated social bookmark space. On the other hand, these e-resources are made easily accessible by a domain-specific search engine

Focuss.Info Initiative

Full Project Details

Submitted: November 24, 2009

http://www.focuss.info/

Causes: Education, global knowledge, global studies, knowledge sharing, local knowledge, search engine, social bookmarking, social network

Project Goals: In the last year, the coordinators of the Focuss.Info actively spread news about the project by publishing articles in academic and non-academic publications with a focus on global development cooperation and librarianship in the Global South. In addition, the coordinators have presented on international conferences where potential partner organizations and students, researchers and individual practitioners were present. All of these materials are available on the website of the Focuss.Info Initiative (www.focuss.info) and click on â€˜Focuss in Media'.

Needs: Marketing/Media Expertise: As indicated in the detailed description of the Focuss.Info Initiative, we preferably look for an Information Professional from the Global South to lead the Focuss.Info Initiative. This person will induce and promote new Web technologies in favor of community building in global development cooperation. However, if this recruitment is not feasible, the current coordinators of the Focuss.Info Initiative will recruit somebody from the Global North. This will result in two different scenarios: a grant for the scenario to fund an information professional from the Global South, or a grant for the scenario to fund an information professional from the Global North. The current coordinators of Focuss.Info are favoring the scenario with an information professional from the Global South. Within this scenario, the Initiative is able to pro-actively encourage and mobilize partner organization and individual practitioners from the more local areas in sub-Saharan Africa and Eurasia. Additionally, it gives these areas the possibility of professionally working with the issue: knowledge creation and sharing.
