[kictanet] Silicon Savanna

[Catherine Adeya]

Daktari,

I love your idea of people volunteering their time to help those in the rural 
areas especially to build capacity. A number are already doing it in their own 
way. I wonder if there could be a structured way to do it. Maybe a centralized 
place where people can drop their names (and expertise) if need be, areas where 
they would like to volunteer etc.  And if possible they can be matched with 
relevant people in these areas; the link person in those areas could be the 
District Information Officers (I hope that is what they are called). This is 
just me running away with ideas....but only if possible.

Best Regards,

Nyaki

Andrew,
Thanks. We are doing something for our rural folks. I am a bit frustrated that 
it is moving slowly.  If we take is as a collective responsibility, we shall 
move much faster.

If you live in urban areas and you can volunteer time for your rural folks, 
please let me know. We are working to get either a tablet or a note book to all 
high school kids but this will require massive training.  We need not spend 
money on training if all of us donated time to educate our rural students.  We 
shall succeed with hardware but need help in building capacities. Let me have 
your "opinions".

Ndemo.
