Progress

Link to Blog Report for September and October: [1]

Despite several delays we have had, there has finally been progress in this project. We went to Keongo Primary School, a small primary school in Kericho District in the Rift Valley province of Kenya. To follow progress closely and interact with the team more directly, please visit hoclaptop.blog.com.

We are working together with a team dealing with HIV/AIDS ([2])and Reading and Writing (wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/Reading_Writing_Skills_Kenya) in order to help us make a greater impact on one school at a time and also reduce our costs.


Please feel free to contribute on the blog and help us make the world of the children in Kenya and by extension Africa appropriate and better.Thank you and God bless
