Social Innovation Camp Philippines 2013

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Social Camp Innovation team thought you might like to know that the Social Innovation Camp Philippines 2013 call for ideas is now open!

We're looking for the best ideas that use technology to change stuff that matters. Over one weekend from September 13-15, 2013, we're bringing together some of the best of the software developers and designers with those at the sharp end of social problems at Manila.

Our mission will be to turn six back-of-the-envelope ideas that could change the world into social start-ups in under 48 hours – complete with working software.

You've got until August 02, 2013 to send us your idea that uses the web to create social change and you could be joining 80 other participants to try and make it a reality. The top team from SI Camp Philippines will join the top teams from other cities at the end of the year for a final regional camp.

Impersonating the Goddess of Hunt and Moon

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The daughter of Leto and Zeus, and the twin of Apollo. Artemis is the goddess of the wilderness, the hunt and wild animals, and fertility. Sometimes, she is also called the Moon Goddess. Artemis was one of the Olympians and a virgin goddess. Her main vocation was to roam mountain forests and uncultivated land with her nymphs in attendance hunting for lions, panthers, hinds and stags. Contradictory to the later, she helped in protecting and seeing to their well-being, also their safety and reproduction. She was armed with a bow and arrows which were made by Hephaestus and the Cyclopes.

Being associated with chastity, Artemis at an early age (in one legend she was three years old) asked her father, the great god Zeus, to grant her eternal virginity. Also, all her companions were virgins. Artemis was very protective of her purity, and gave grave punishment to any man who attempted to dishonor her in any form.
