Jennifer Sly is the Founder of YouthAssets, a Featured Project at the NetSquared Conference.

Well, I made it Swaziland. After a short ride on a SMALL place - they take ALL of your luggage, purses, and bags because there is no room for anything in your seat! It was a quick ride - only 40 minutes - and I was sitting to a very nice gentleman who was travelling to Swaziland for the first time from Senegal. He was attending a trade conference at the same location as my OSISA conference so maybe I will see him again.

Today's interview is with Jennifer Sly, the Founder of YouthAssets. YouthAssets was one of the 21 Featured Projects at the NetSquared Conference in May 2007.

You can hear the audio recording of the interview on the NetSquared Podcast. A recording of YouthAssets' 5-minute pitch at the Conference is also available.

Jennifer Sly: Hello, my name is Jennifer Sly, and I'm the Founder of YouthAssets, a new organization dedicated to connect orphans and other vulnerable youth in southern Africa with the resources and support that they need. YouthAssets engages youth in the international development process in southern Africa by using interactive content accessible by mobile technology. Youth can then receive the most relevant information when they need it.
