== Overview ==
 
* disintermediate cross cultural development from the government-agency 'industry'
* create ways to connect on existential issues with opportunities for considered collective support
* create easily re-usable information
* enable participation of sensitive non professionals
* connecting people across cultures, for understanding and reconciliation
* filter system to allow gradual direct connections
** Focused on finding common elements between people and enriching that connection and understanding, while "helping the poor."
** Engage dedicated researchers and aid workers, but explore and create direct connection between ordinary people on both sides
* Explore and enable hubs, go-to people, development of interventions in communities (rather than as a by product of wealthy communities) and low cost devices, for example cell phones that may have internet access
 
== Description ==
 
Low cost concept where communities here (and in other countries), are connected to communities in a 'disadvantaged' rural area. Looking at the type of Facebook or other virtual community group where people are interested in issues such as:
 
* local farming
* women's rights
** midwife support
** nutrition
* sustainability
** recycling
** building materials and techniques
* rights
** representation
** intermediaries
* enabling
** micro loans ([[Kiva]])
* research
** knowledge building
** translation
 
Supporting low cost internet-enabled devices and access, try to connect them so they could reciprocally exchange ideas and support (text, images, video, audio), and also nominate individuals to travel back and forth.
