"I'm helping out with a curriculum to help slum kids to (web) program in Thailand in English, but in a way that they can learn English as well" Is there somewhere one could read more about this? Sounds nifty.

I seriously doubt that, I've lived in 3 of the countries (fairly large ones) where WhatsApp is THE communications and in all of those, at least to my knowledge, most (mostly young) people send money electronically through banks, someti

Venmo is irrelevant in (all?) most of the markets where Whatsapp is utterly dominating. In February it was reported that the platform has 2 billion active users.
