karlm 0 #2 December 10, 2008 Well I'm no expert, but having lived in Africa (South Africa) for sometime, this project looks like the typical Western solution to a problem of illiteracy/Education in Africa ...... some things seem to be missing 1. No power in rural areas for the most part 2. No tele communications, so no internet or phones The actual school and teachers would far prefer to see books, supplies, uniforms etc for their schools. Than a laptop. Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
