Funding Friday...
Develop Impact - Issue 101
Happy Friday!
I hope your week is going well! This week I’ve highlighted quite a few smaller funding opportunities for your #tech4good related work. I hope these bring you success in your development work!
Come work with me! At Glean Asia, I am looking for a front-end developer to join our team, open to any skill level. If you’re interested in working on large-scale technology projects across Asia-Pacific, please send me an email. You can find out more on our hiring page.
A quick note: next week there will be no newsletter as it’s Khmer New Year and I will be taking a much needed break.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you after the new year!
Jesse
