Wanna make some money while making a difference?
Hey guys,
OpenMRS is an open source medical records system that is used in many third-world developing countries where HIV/AIDS is an epidemic. Now here’s where you can make a difference: They are participating in Google Summer of Code. You can make $4500 this summer while making a difference in the lives of people ravaged by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in developing third-world countries. Here’s how it works: at the beginning you will get $500; after the mid-term evalations you will get $2000; at the end you will get the final $2000. Check out the projects you could potentially work on! For an overview click here.
