2/2 There are 75,000 Afghans resettling across America and HFC is helping by delivering technology, food, clothing, and friendship. Come hear from several of your new neighbors on SATURDAY (NOT Sunday) at 1130 at the HFC booth in the #ShmooCon Chill Out room.
1/2 Hello @shmoocon! A few months ago, Hackers for Charity had the privilege of meeting some of the newest members of our community, Afghan families who escaped the Taliban in August 2021. #ShmooCon#hackersforcharity
Mourning the loss of our dear friend @V310C1TY. He was such a kind soul who gave selflessly of his time, talent and treasure. He was quick to smile in the darkest times and his infectious laugh encouraged us often. Until we meet again, dear friend.
@ANDnXOR Thank you so much for this awesome gesture! The pandemic has really hurt us (all) but our crew is still plugging along especially in Uganda where things are .. beyond. Thanks everyone! 💜
No cons means a massive drop in donations. But thanks to past community donations, our Ugandan Training Center and Hackerspace are still open and our employees are safe and fed and are training “themselves” in mini-cons during the lockdown! WOW! https://t.co/cNlQAXo1Y2
@webyeti@elkentaro @DAkacki @knarphie There’s nothing like your first drop in. I spent a lot of time in terror at the top of a 4’ half pipe. Commit, more pressure on the front foot than you think then bend that front knee to take the impact. Fall back not forward. You’ll get it. ❤️
@aberrantgoddess @defcon@MohawkCon@EFF Totally agree ☝️ Hmmm.. maybe we can find a way to put Mohawks on profile pics in the spirit of @MohawkCon! We will definitely miss you guys. You’ve been such amazing fans and supporters through the years! ❤️
Thank you so much to David Evenden, John DiFederico, Eric Ziegast and Jeff McJunkin for supporting us by donating their honorariums from this year’s @WWHackinFest. You guys are keeping our staff in Uganda going despite some of the strictest quarantines on the planet! 💜
Africa is in big trouble as risk from lockdowns is potentially more dangerous than the virus. We’re thankful that we can at least support our Ugandan staff as they shelter in place thanks to your donations. Thank you! https://t.co/C7fNwRGHIz
