I just returned from Brazil yesterday: an exciting and meaningful trip that I'll talk about more later, I hope.

One cool sounding project in Brazil is, Technology Training for Women Radio Communicators. If you choose a Global Cause, you can b rowse charities by topic, or region via Global Giving , and then select the charity that you would like to support. For example, there are 10 projects to choose from under the topic of "Technology."

Sounded like she needs something I've seen in Brazil, and so I hope to make the connection. Isaac from Nigeria makes mobile toilets and gives them to poor widows to use to generate income: "shit business is serious business." Sheela Patel of SPARC in Mumbai, India, and I talked about IT needs for her communities: the poor.

So in Spanish, it’s with a J so it would sound an English jajaja, but in English, it’s with an H, but the H in Spanish is silent. And now WhatsApp is rolling out a payment feature in Brazil.
