I was wondering if any of you on the list know about learning
materials such as books, audio, video etc. that may be available for
children in the Jamaican context. The Internet Archive
(http://archive.org/) and Project Gutenberg
(http://www.gutenberg.org/) provide materials in the public domain and
other free contexts.

Does anyone have any experience with such repositories?

Of course materials in the non-Jamaican context would be useful too.

cheers,
Sameer
