How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:

search engine. I am multi skilled and would like to contribute in a positive manner towards redressing past imbalances of which I was a victim, but nevertheless through various governmental contributions involving the 'developed' world I was able to acquire skills and competencies which enabled me to achieve within my own right. I feel EBB is the best way forward to achieve this objective of mine.
