How can we get a Project started in Afghanistan for remote villages where even the government employees (teachers) do not like to work? Can I help to get some project stated on private basis and not going through the government?

Afghanistan has received about 20000 100 B-2 machines and is working on getting them deployed as a pilot project. While it may not be fair to generalize that teachers do not like to work as there certainly are several dedicated teachers both in rural as well as urban areas but working with less than perfect conditions is an accepted challenge for all ICT projects. Hence, part of the project is to identify champions and generate support at the appropriate levels before and during deployment.


This is great news, I would be awaiting how the children would be responding to the pilot project, I hope and wish to be part of this as it would be a life changing event for a lot of children, I wonder how the MESH network would be supported here.
