We are the organizers and hosts of the Gan Bokumestu Cancer Walk, raising money for cancer research in Kansai. Originally started in 2000, we have held consecutive events annually over the past 20 years. For more information, please go here Gan Bokumetsu Cancer Walk.
DEC has become the primary technology sponsor of Grapesyard School in Korogocho, Nairobi, Kenya. It has been our privilege to work with the folks at Peace as a Global Language (Richard Miller, Zane Ritchie and many others), and our small part has been to supply a couple of Raspberry Pis, used as a means of delivering content from some of our publisher friends. We have also sent a few computers and more recently, some VR headsets (thanks to a generous donation by Veative), which has been opening the eyes and the minds of these students. Below are a few pictures from Grapesyard.
An African proverb says, “If we educate a boy, we educate one person. If we educate a girl, we educate a family – and a whole nation.” By sending a girl to school, she is far more likely to ensure that her children also receive an education. As many claim, investing in a girl’s education is investing in a nation.
