Selling crops by phone

One of the fastest ways for a society to leapfrog its economic development is through technology. We saw this in China, where traditional landlines that were communally shared quickly gave way to mobile tech before landline infrastructure were even built. Grandmas manning telephone stations on the street with long phone cords paralleled youth riding bicycles while talking on their cellphones. However, the commercial and consumer uses for tech can be very unique and require well-thought out planning and product development.

Myanmar in her heart

It’s often in the in-between spaces of life that we grow the most. Last year, our own JLee negotiated some time off before leaving sunny Los Angeles for new work in by the canals of Amsterdam. Serendipitously, I took over her apartment, a beautiful one bedroom that had been handed down by the girls in our church fellowship. I watched JLee stuff all of her belongings into our hall closet, and cram a month’s worth of life supplies into a gigantic backpack. First stop was Nepal, then Myanmar with a final pitstop in Korea. Not bad at all, it’s amazing the things you can get away with a little scheming… ahem… planning. JLee plans. I just kind of just wing it. This is why we love working with each other!
