I delivered a keynote for Social Good Brasil in 2012 and for a conference on volunteering hosted by Fundação Telefônica in 2014. My last visit to Brasil coincided with the Brasil’s version of GivingTuesday called DiadeDoar and I was lucky enough to attend a fundraiser with Brasil’s Giving Tuesday leader João Paulo Vergueiro.

I am very excited about upcoming peer learning projects that I’m working on in 2012, including several for Packard grantees in India, Pakistan, and Africa as well as the e-Mediat project in the Middle East.

In 2012, we tried creating an intercultural community advisory board called C3 (Creative Community Committee). C3 was a list of about 80 people from diverse networks throughout Santa Cruz--from librarians to social services to roller derby. Our work would become more relevant, our collaborations more timely, our network more diverse.
