[Air-L] help on africa and computer donations

[Cristian Berrio Zapata]

Dear Alok:

I am also working my DU paper regarding ICTs role int the third world
(education in this case). I am quite reluctant about this kind of measures
and also had looked at Kenny's point of view which remarks the weaknesses of
these plans. I will be happy to share my thought with you.

I have published /researched (and continue to do so) on exploring  
related issues - if Alok can contact me offlist - I am willing to  
dialogue with him on the issues.
