Consultation stations at Bread for the City
I spent 13 years traveling the world first as a Peace Corps volunteer, then later working for an international NGO. During that time I focused my energies on helping people in places like Turkmenistan and Iraq. But recently I have found pleasure in working with folks in my own backyard. 

Thanks largely to Digital Capital (DC) Week I started volunteering again by accident.  On that Saturday I signed up for the Bridging DC's Digital Divide panel, hosted by Bread for the City. I arrived to find that this was part of a bigger event, the Discovering Technology Fair (a 'DiscoTech') organized by the Broadband Bridge. There was a line out the door, with more than 200 DC residents in attendance. Greg Bloom, who I had not met, saw me standing around confused and asked if I could help an elderly grandmother get online. I couldn't say no so I grabbed my laptop and sat down with "Mama" Jones to help her get online with a laptop she recently bought.
