Proposed: We have a tri-lingual school that is in the traditional city of Fez, Morocco. The majority of the students are Moroccan, and the others are from other countries. We have 160 students with only 8 working computers in the school.

In this project, we would like to demo the computers by training our teachers to use them first for a period of two months. Then we would like to do a project with our multi-lingual 5th grade students in which we teach them to harvest information off the internet and us this information for a world cultures fair or other appropriate presentation. This would be an 8 month project and we would give extensive feedback.

It would be a fantastic opportunity for our students to be able to demo these computers.
