I'm a physicist by day, and highly interested in improving literacy at all levels by night, and with that generally improving peoples' lives. I have been working with small scale, artisanal miners in Peru on fine gold recovery, and noticed that there are huge challenges involved in this business. The contamination it causes, the governmental interventions, the remoteness from general infrastructures among others are some of the most important challenges to overcome. But on the other hand, the world has so many people with imagination, resources and creativity to develop solutions for helping out here, and I aim for reaching out to you because one can't do it alone.
