Trusting that your festive/restive season has been pleasurable.
Whereas a staff member at Creative Commons (Regional Coordinator-Africa), I write this appeal in my personal capacity.
Since August last year, I have been privileged to have first-hand
experience on the powerfully and positive free sharing on open Internet
role made possible by free Creative Commons licences. And how that has
impacted not just across Africa, but around the world. From Open
Education Resources promising firm realisation of universal access to
education to people whom otherwise could never have had access to
knowledge and subsequent opportunities, arts and artistes collaboration
resulting in new creative works, CC-licensed freely shared resources
such as the wikipedia, among to many others online and offline.
Creative Commons is running a fund-raising campaign which I humbly urge you to support by donating here:
