[kictanet] Laptops4Schools

[S.M. Muraya]

Got to hear the last 10-15 minutes of the MoE presentation in the afternoon.

Clearly this project is going to impact Kenyan society even if the laptop
part fails by whatever key performance indicators are set by various
parties.

There are serious investigations/plans to get schools currently too far off
the electricity grid with solar power.

Mr. Sang gave some real costs of a solar power installation at a school in
Garissa.

They are even asking where charging cabinets can be located, if not at
schools.

They need our ideas/solutions :)
