Welcome

My name’s Rose Vines. I’m an Australian writer, editor and activist, working in New Orleans. I write for computer magazines in Australia and the US and act as the technical dogsbody for the Death Penalty Discourse Network and Sister Helen Prejean. I’m interested in making technology accessible to people and helping people use technology to make the world a better place.

I’m also a sponsor of four girls at the Mehan Orphanage run by the extraordinary Afghan organisation, AFCECO. I’ve built a website for AFCECO sponsors, called Hope for Afghan Children.

Show your support

If you find the articles on Geekgirl’s blog and website useful and would like to show your appreciation, please think about making a donation to the AFCECO orphanages in Afghanistan, or consider becoming a child sponsor. These orphanages don’t just provide food and shelter for hundreds of girls and boys, they provide education and an environment of mutual respect. They are raising a generation of Afghan leaders.
