Proposals Macedonia
Finalist – Macedonia: Wild Herbs Exchange Network
Macedonia is a country with lush nature and a large number of medicinal herbs and teas. People that live in remote villages have a natural remedy for every ailment but they have very little contact with the rest of the world. We plan to educate these people on the importance in sharing this knowledge by exchange of information and cures using the internet. We will also ask young bloggers to photograph and write about these wild herbs. This way we also produce the first eco journalists in Macedonia that can speak for people from remote villages.

Technology in today’s world is a necessary component for survival and prosperity for all populations, with the elderly certainly no exception. Access and affordability of computer technology.
