[Grassroots-l] OLPC Afghanistan first pilot school

[Sohaib Obaidi Ebtihaj]

thanks dear,
Yes the localization in both Afghan languages (Dari and Pashto) is
completed. Roshan, one of the biggest telecom companies of Afghanistan is
providing internet and connectivity and electricity condition is quite
good in that school and we are also trying some other -possible-
alternatives (If needed) as well.
You will soon read about the whole deployment news and the situation here.
thanks.
