It’s not an understatement to say that Mekong ICT Camp changed my life.
I attended in 2010, made new friends, and learned cool new things.
(Oh, also: under a year later, I got a job based on the knowledge I’d acquired there.) 🙂
I returned in 2013 to share what I learned with Open Development Cambodia, completing the circle.

It’s made me feel very welcome in my exploration, research and travels.
Others are similarly enthusiastic. Here is a home-made film celebrating 2013’s session.
Would I recommend you apply? Heck yeah.
If you are at the intersection of information technology and social change, give it a go.
There are plenty of others who’ve also reaped the benefits. http://sketchmekongict.tumblr.com/
(And BTW? The deadline is April 05 — better hurry up!)
