The world is more connected than ever, but some communities are still cut off from vital resources like electricity and health care. In this solution-oriented talk, activist Johanna Figueira discusses her work with Code for Venezuela — a platform that gathers technologists to address Venezuela’s needs for information and medical supplies — and shares ideas for how it could be used as a model to help other communities in need.
The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

Good timing TED Talks. I was going to unsubscribe today if you did not, after several weeks, have a worthwhile speaker. I remember back when Venezuela was a nice place. Yes, that was a long time ago. So sad to see what it has become. My only argument is one size never fits all. Other than that, conversación muy buena Johanna Figueira.

Solution to an individual. Control over masses.
(Listen to Dr. Rashid A. Buttar if you had enough of lies)
(Listen to Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai PhD if you had enough of lies)
(And then watch this and open your eyes 1/2)

150 deaths per million in Sweden? That’s only 0.015% mortality rate. That’s nothing compared to USA and they’re letting it ride there. So it’s ether they’re lying in Sweden or the media is lying to us. Or maybe Swedish people have healthier immune systems. What do you think?

Really an inspiring one. Similarly, what they have done in Venezuela is being done by group of people from diaspora and local community professionals in Jaffna, Sri Lanka ( Northern part of the country) called Yarl IT Hub.
They organize hackathon challenges to school students and for college students. These kind of activities should be started everywhere. Great speech. Thank you.

She got good free education in Venezuela. And USA gave her visa . Because Venezuela already payed for her study 100 000. And her cost was higher of medium ameran citizen. And now she thinks how cool is she and promotes USA. Well done capitalism

Fnidner Hi 👋 – my dad is a Portuguese immigrant with no proper education, my mom is from a very *very* rural small town in Venezuela. As you can see from my strong accent – I’m an immigrant as well, and I left My country and started from zero here. Yes, I’ve been privileged because the education we received (my husband and I) gave us the opportunity to stay and work in America. But that came with a lot – a lot of effort and hard work. If you think that’s privileged. Yes – I am.
