The submission idea should:
- Help people learn, practice, improve, and share one or more of the following four basic relationship skills: self-awareness, authenticity, trust, and empathy;
- Apply to one or more of the following areas: education, wellness, or the workplace;
- Mobilize authentic connections either inside individuals, between and among people, and/or within communities.
- Use technology (broadly defined as curricula, tools, apps, social media or other applications) to effectively reach a wide audience.
- Be easy to use so that non-experts (in technology) can have easy access.
Individuals 18 years or older, teams of individuals 18 years or older, and U.S. public charities are eligible to apply. Applicants may apply more than once for distinctly different ideas.
The last date to enter the contest is 1 June 2012. For more information, visit this link.

Currently we have:
A nutrition / educational program for 80 children between 6 and 16 years.
A telecenter for charging phones through solar panels.
A small optic shop for consultation and preparing spectacles, needs to be extended.
A comfortable space where even at night homework can be made and to use as a library also through solar panels.
A multifunctional park with the possibility to hold seminars, meeting, parties and also apartments to stay overnight for meetings and recreation.
So far everything was financed by fundraising in The Netherlands. Due to the financial crisis this cannot be done anymore and we do need to find other sponsors.
Our aim is that all projects are self-supporting by the end of 2013, but to achieve this we do have provide an adequate basis.
We are now asked by the locals to start a communication center, because Coyah, where we are active, with more than 150,000 inhabitants, has no internet connection which cause for example mental retardation for students. The nearest internet access is 35 Km from the village!!
Already we have 20 computers and a Dutch ICT expert who is prepared to provide the installation and training of the staff for free.
Looking at: “NGO Opportunities in Your Country” we noticed that Guinea is not even on the list!!!
Can you advise us how we raise the funds to realize the cyber in particular to offer the students the opportunity to broaden their horizons.
