Hello! my name is vuga William A South Sudanese-born refugee for 28 years. As a refugee, I faced a couple of challenges that made me come up with basic yet fulfilling solutions to solving challenges that affect me and my community which included in-access to opportunities in the refugee camp because of the in- access to skills and information and hence I created a Community Based Organization, Youth Empowerment foundation that is empowering and changing the narrative by providing skills and knowledge to refugees and host communities in the refugee camps in Adjumani hence giving me the stand as a tech advocate and community transformer.

describe yourself

Vuga William is my name, am 35 years old. A South Sudanese Male, living in Pagriniya Refugee Settlement in Uganda (Adjuamani district ). This is my second time becoming a refugee in Uganda, due to civil war that erupted back home in 2013 and 2016 in the country South Sudan. This has negatively affected my youthful lifetime. As life keeps pressing harder Technology has changed everything! I started learning peer to peer with my friends through workshops, and working on the Defyhatenow (Hate speech Mitigation and counteract online and offline hate speech), That was paving way for me to organize lot of meetups and workshops for my community later on founding Youth Enpowerment Foundation (YEF), a community innovation Hub That helps thousand communities both refugee and host to address their local problems, YEF has become a pool for young people to have access to information and basic learning at the center.

I think the qualifications via pictures is a nice Idea and we definitely all know Vuga so @vugawilliam skills can be testified by @maliarich @yyenki @romeoplat and @timmwille :dancing_men:

Would this be another option fo #85 process of verification?

[timmwille]

@MartinSchott Skill 1 would refer to "Media & Art" and Skill 2 to "Hardware & Repair" but we definitely might want to split into Skill 3 for "Community & Moderation" and also Skill 4 as "Organisational Development" as he is founder of YEF Hub :100:

@vugawilliam what do you think, makes sence to me :)

[timmwille]

@vugawilliam later you can also clarify here via comment or add additional skills/info via Issue templat "Skills Update"

[romeoplat]

I feel like for some of us we can also have the power of adding and editing our profiles later

[yyenki]

I think the qualifications via pictures is a nice Idea and we definitely all know Vuga so @vugawilliam skills can be testified by @maliarich @yyenki @romeoplat and @timmwille 👯‍♂️

Would this be another option fo #85 process of verification?

Absolutely!

[vugawilliam]

I think organizational development and media & Art would work well.

[MartinSchott]

I included the skills 1 and 2 as @timmwille suggested, but didn't include Skill 3 for "Community & Moderation" and also Skill 4 as "Organisational Development", because I would need a qualification text for that. If you want that to be included as well, please provide a qualification text for each (similar as you have done for the first two skills) @vugawilliam . Thank you very much! Btw, it's a great idea to include the photos!

[timmwille]
