Cross-posted from TechChange. Text to Change’s Chief Technology Officer, Marcus Wagenaar, sat down with me yesterday to discuss new projects on the horizon and innovations in the mHealth field.

September 31 Today was my first experience giving a survey in Uganda and giving a survey about technology. I’ve surveyed people before, but usually about human rights, or their use of public space, or what they would like to see changed in their community.
