Interview with Jennifer Sly, Founder of YouthAssets, On Google G1 Phone & Maps in Swaziland, Africa
Monday, August 30th, 2010envisionGood.com We were fortunate to have the opportunity to accompany Jennifer Sly, founder of YouthAssets, in Swaziland last week as she traveld enroute to a number of local homesteads. Along the way, Jennifer shared the story of how she used Google’s G1 phone & Google Maps to find a remote homestead of a 12 year old boy she had met over 12 months prior in rural Swaziland, Africa. In this interview, Jennifer points out the importance of GPS maps in Africa, noting that in most locations people do not have street addresses. YouthAssets is an international nonprofit organization that uses mobile technology to empower and connect orphans and vulnerable youth in southern Africa.
