[Grassroots-l] OLPC NYC/Bronx Brunch - TOPIC: East/West Africa - Sun July 25

[Holt]

Why:

   OLPC/Sugar community volunteers working in East Africa (Uganda,
   Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, etc) updating each/others working in West
   Africa (Ghana, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, etc) on their progress.

   The restaurant is a few blocks away from where the famous incident
   of Guinean immigrant Amadou Diallo occurred.  The restaurant building
   is connected to the NYS Assemblyman Diaz clinic named after Diallo.

   We might even allow discussion of Sao Tome & Principe from
   http://bethstepsup.blogspot.com since Beth is in fact flying thru
   NYC on her way back from Africa, exactly then :)
