This year, we were invited to three Microsoft events: Microsoft Tech4Good in Singapore (February 2014), Microsoft NGO Connection Day in Indonesia (April 2014) and Microsoft NGO Connection Day in Malaysia (June 2014). It was an honor that we were invited to Microsoft NGO Connection Day in Malaysia to share stories with a local non-profit there and also did FGD with several non-profit organizations.
