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.

Convo and Canva

I have a ‘secret weapon’ in my fundraising work for Forum Syd Cambodia – ‘The Networked Nonprofit‘ book.

So it’s been a very welcome event to see Beth Kanter return to Phnom Penh, even briefly. This visit? She and the folks from WAKE had teamed up for their ‘Tech2Empower’ teaching/learning trip.

Most of us had met Beth over 10 years ago, first online — then at Cambodia’s first blogger summit. (Above: yours truly, Be Chantra (BarCamp, Emerald Hub) Beth Kanter, Chak Sopheap (Cambodia Center for Human Rights) Also in attendance: Bun Tharum) It’s been four years since we caught up with her last. http://www.bethkanter.org/cambodia-pt2/

Beth’s books the Networked Nonprofit and Measuring the Networked Nonprofit support her extended commitment to The Sharing Foundation.  It was fun to hear about the work she and WAKE have been doing, touring varied womens’ nonprofits and souping up their tech usage.

And cheers for the Canva T-Shirt! Techies are nothing without their T-Shirts to prove their events happened.
