Today was the first day of our Tech2Empower workshop and it was a great success! We arrived at the America House at around 9a and met our host Sasha. He was our IT host who gave us a tour of the beautiful facility and showed us all of the amazing technology they have access too.. like a 3d printer!
The 45 NGO leaders came bustling in at around 10am with suitcases, laptops and open minds and hearts, ready to learn! They were an amazing group, a very different feel then the Entrepreneur group on Monday. These NGO women came from all over Ukraine to take part in the T2E workshop, some knew each other but most did not. After Trish's eloquent welcome to our guests, we spent the first part of the morning watching Beth Kanter do her magic and get these women meeting each other and our WAKE Team.
I presented my Office Technical Infrastructure after lunch. There were many people interested in moving forward with my back up recommendations, password security awareness as well as getting organized.
I learned about an amazing tech tool called Canva- an alternative to adobe photoshop and its FREE! The Women loved it and were able to create amazing FB banners and posts, Canva was presented by another Tech Advisor, Galen.
All of the tech advisors walked back to the hotel after the long exciting day, only about 2 miles, to breathe some fresh COLD air!
The WAKE Team went out for a celebratory dinner at the Buddha Bar - where we ate Thai food and creme brûlée, with Buddha!
until tomorrow....
