I had the chance to talk to Giles Phillips, Director of Innovation at Monster.com and he’s really interested in collaborating with my organization on a project where we could possibly create a job search and notification function to cellular phones in Haiti for existing positions within and without Haiti (in some cases). We’re thinking of doing that by having a website function that organization and applicants can log into. We also believe it’s key to have a free and easy cellular phone log-in function as most of the Haitian population have cellular phones.

Having a computer-based centric curriculumn really broaden my horizon.  The closest explanation I can come up with is a Waldorf Education

Inveneo has set up an amazing infrastructure in Haiti with satellite internet.

Another new site, started by the Crisis Commons volunteers, intended as a repository for the survivor stories of Haitians and their families. Creole is suggested. If you know Haitians in the Boston, New York, Miami or other communities, send them the url and urge them to have family post stories and video on YouTube. Then check back to see what's happening and send email to stimulate communication when you can. Thank you!

Open Solace, Crisis Commons project -- "Very few projects are focusing on creating sustainable flows of information into, out of, and with Haiti... locally produced independent media... [create] an intracultural relief effort that deals in the cycle of grief, compassion and the flow of dialog.  Specifically, through the exchange of these postcards people will be moved to unload, intra-culturally."
