Hello! I’m John Weeks, developing innovative fundraising and communication strategies in Southeast Asia.

I particularly relish the challenge of growing nonprofit infrastructure. I’ve founded Our Books, Our Books Illustration and Design, House32 Web Design, and assisted in getting Open Development Cambodia and the ICT4 Cambodia Development Network off the ground.

I serve on the boards of Open Development Cambodia, Our Books, Nou Hach Literary Journal, and arts ‘think tank’ Sang Salapak.

I frequently teach at varied tech events, and enjoy sharing my interests via blogging, cartooning and varied writing. My opinions on art, culture, and technology are cited in publications ranging from Time and USA Today to Punk Planet.

Please feel free to get in touch.

Mekong ICT 2015

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.

Everywhere I go in Southeast Asia, there’s usually someone in our informal alumni network to check in with.
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!)
