A very good story indeed, I just wish the African goverments are more interested in helping their people rather than personal gain.

You can now refer people to this webpage since the story is now on the internet.

This is another great technology that is hoping to help kids in Africa.

Do you think that technology is the answer to some of the world's education problems?

There are great ideas everywhere----and what's sad is that the same ideas are recycled and that ends up getting everyone nowhere fast.

This idea is great. It solved a problem in a school that needed help.

Good job guys. Good job indeed.
