The experience

By day, I run a tech non-profit. We make it fun and easy for refugee parents and isolated older folks to learn english and make new friends, by cooking and eating together in schools. In 2020, I started converting a 1920s Thames Lighter Barge into the first ever wikihouseboat on a beautiful central London marina with fibre broadband (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiHouse). Now I need some help finishing the job so I can repeat it with refugees.
