“The Giving Chain not only gave me an amazing opportunity to learn about the Hyperledger umbrella by working on an open-source project but also helped me build great communication and presentational skills. I got to know about the Hyperledger FireFly and Sawtooth frameworks. I also made amazing friends and working with Bobbi made me realize how amazing of a community Hyperledger is. I wish to continue working with her and learning as much as I can.”

“The Giving Chain project showcases blockchain technology by creating a platform that makes make donations immutable and transparent. The Giving Chain platform is a supply chain blockchain to seamlessly track donations for charity and disaster relief efforts. The first attempt to create the Giving Chain was in 2019. Through the Linux Foundation 2021 Mentorship Program and the mentee’s talent, The Giving Chain was able to successfully build a proof of concepts using Hyperledger FireFly. Watching young students work so incredibly hard to achieve this milestone for such a worthwhile effort was one of the most rewarding events of my career.”
