I am thrilled to share our impactful journey at Glappy Village!

For almost 5 years, a dedicated team of over 300 volunteers joined forces to create Lawgecko a 24/7 support system for individuals facing domestic challenges.

Excited to share their story during my session at the SAFe DC Conference 2024!

I will be discussing innovative ways to utilize the SAFe framework within nonprofit organizations, focusing on leveraging AI to combat domestic violence.

I'm excited to announce that I will be speaking at the SAFe Summit in Washington, D.C. on October 16th! 🎉

I'll be sharing a unique application of SAFe for social impact, specifically discussing how we can innovate against domestic violence using AI. This session, titled "SAFe for Good," will dive into leveraging technology and frameworks to create meaningful change in our communities.

If you're attending the conference, I would love for you to join my session and engage in this important conversation. Let's connect, share insights, and explore how we can use SAFe to drive social innovation! 🤝

Looking forward to seeing you there!

In our shared journey towards a better future, one of the most profound investments we can make is in the curious minds of the next generation.

Across the globe, and particularly in Africa, we've embarked on an initiative to illuminate the path of learning and discovery in robotics and engineering for young learners. By establishing ICT labs and partnering with libraries, we're not just providing tools; we're opening doorways to new worlds of possibilities.

Our latest endeavor, "What's in Your Toy?", aims to demystify the wonders of technology for both children and parents. This isn't just about understanding gadgets; it's about igniting a lifelong passion for innovation and problem-solving. Each toy, each device, holds a lesson in engineering and creativity, waiting to be uncovered.

I invite you to join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can empower children to explore, learn, and dream. Let's inspire them to ask the big questions and equip them to find the answers.

For a closer look at our mission and to share in the wonder, I encourage you to watch our introductory video here.

With optimism for the future.

I'm thrilled to share our latest endeavor - the launch of the Problem Space Lab in Cameroon.

This project is a testament to our dedication to fostering technological literacy and innovation in AI and robotics in partnership with Schools in Africa.

It's more than a lab; it's a beacon of hope and opportunity for the community in Bamenda, Cameroon.

I'm immensely proud of our team's effort in making this vision a reality. Learn more about this inspiring initiative here:https://www.glappyvillage.org/news/problem-space-lab-cameroon-goes-live
