Hello everyone,
My name is Denis, and I am thrilled to be a part of this altruism forum. As a person who deeply values kindness and empathy, I am excited to connect with like-minded individuals who share my passion for helping others.
I am looking forward to learning from all of you and contributing to discussions about ways we can make a positive impact in our communities and the world. Whether it's volunteering, donating to a cause, or simply showing kindness to those around us, I believe that each of us has the power to make a difference.
Thank you for welcoming me to this community, and I can't wait to get started!
Hello everyone, my name is Liz Kariuki and I'm new here. I'm taking the EA Virtual Course in the April - May cohort. I'm a 27y/o Kenyan woman with a Bachelor's degree in Economics. I haven't done any work with my course though since I'm also a self-taught programmer and I've worked in Web Development, Sales Automation, and content creation. I am also a member of my local Rotaract currently serving as the director of community service.
I am glad to have found this community since it brings my passions together. Everything seems a bit overwhelming at the moment. (Effective Altruism, Longtermism, 80,000 hours, AI Alignement, Forecasting etc) But I'm sure I'll be able to understand it and find my place in due time. Hoping to learn to make a better impact in the world through a meaningful career and giving to deserving causes. Open for jobs in Research Assistance and Content Creation.
Thanks.
Hi Liz,
welcome to the EA Forum. *wave*
If you need help with anything, feel free to reach out via PN or just ask the community.
I am leading a university group in Germany and thought about getting in touch with the local Rotary and Rotaract chapter but never found the time. So I am really curious about how well EA matches with your interests and what we can learn from each other respectively.
Would be cool if we could talk sometime in the future about different outreach strategies and community health, if you would like. Maybe a group discussion on Gather Town? :)

Have a nice day and enjoy your virtual course. :)
Thanks for the warm welcome, Felix!
Do let me know when you want to discuss that and thanks for the internship board.
