Was this confirmation of the need for computer-aided education needs? Today, I participated in a 2-hour Zoom meeting with attendees from the US and Congo sponsored by Congo Mission Network of PCUSA. The topic of this meeting was post-secondary education in Congo. That is, education at colleges, universities and technical schools in the Congo. #Congo #Congopostsecondaryeducation #postsecondaryeducation #Congocolleges #Congouniversities #Congotechnicalschools #CMN #CongoMissionNetwork #PCUSA #computeraidededucation

Providing Congolese Elementary and Secondary schools with a computer and educational software is the easy part of the equation. What else does it take? #Congo #CongoEducation #ruraleducation #teachertraining #ruralschools #acceptance #use #engagement

Over 500 healthcare workers died during 2014-2016 Ebola Outbreak in West Africa. As a result, healthcare workers in Congo were first to be vaccinated during current Ebola in eastern Congo. That's good news! #Congo #CongoEbola #EbolaVaccine #healthcare #healthcareworker #CongoDoctors #CongoNurses

What's the value of the internet to your business? I'm thinking beyond the social media platforms. It's been said that nobody can out think the internet. But imagine most schools in the developing world like Congo don't have access to the internet. #Congo #ruraleducation #accesstotheinternet #NobodyCanOutThinktheInternet

Hot News! I discovered Arizona State University's initiative called Solar SPELL (Solar Powered Educational Learning Library). This answer my need and desire of a project to provide Remote and Distance Learning opportunity for rural Congolese school students. #Congo #RuralCongo #RuralLearning #RuralEducation #DistanceLearning #RemoteLearning #CongoleseParents #CongoleseStudents #KindleforEducation #RaspberryPiforEducation #SolarSPELL #ASU #ASUInovation

Most parents and teachers would not choose remote and distance learning for students. BUT, they had no others alternative. It's no school OR remote and distance learning. I think Congolese parents and teachers would choose remote and distance learning. And in the rural areas, educational opportunities could be improved. #Congo #RuralCongo #RuralLearning #RuralEducation #DistanceLearning #RemoteLearning #CongoleseParents #CongoleseStudents #KindleforEducation #RaspberryPiforEducation

Educational degrees and certificates qualifies you for a JOB. But there is a BIG job shortage in the Congo. The same as here, small businesses create jobs. In Congo, social businesses will create jobs. You don't need a degree or certificate to start a social business to solve a problem of the rural poor Congolese. #Congo #EndingExtremePoverty #poverty #ruralpoor #ruralCongolese #poorCongolese #DoNotWaitforaCertificate #MuhammadYunus #EvanCarmichael #TopTenRulesforSuccess #socialentrepreneurship #socialbusiness

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! We must NOT Be Money Centered! Our first and foremost focus should be alleviating poverty and the suffering of poor rural Congolese. Decisions should be made to serve the poor and not to maximize profit. #Congo #EndingExtremePoverty #poverty #ruralpoor #ruralCongolese #poorCongolese #Don'tBeMoneyCentered #MuhammadYunus #EvanCarmichael #TopTenRulesforSuccess

That's the big question? In many countries, insurance covers unexpected losses. But, insurance is a foreign subject in Congo. #Congo #farminsurance #sustainable #ruralfarming
