We just produced this campaign to help fund mobile apps for our bilingual learning platform.  It's a small start but if it's supported we believe it can eventually become a touchscreen mobile learning ecosystem for preschool children in developing countries.

Hi Stephen,
I looked at your web page and wonder if you are aware of the Free Software ecosystem? There you will find people who want to make software , usually for no cost, and not only that but will want to produce software in many languages, even Bangla. If you speak to the folks at Sugar Labs, they might have more software that you can use or make to fit your purpose, as that's the nature of Free Software.
Please visit Sugarlabs.org for more info.There might be other OLPC pilot project that are making software suited for local education standards that might be useful. The OLPC wiki at wiki.laptop.org or olpcmaps.net might show.One volunteer made these notes:http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Travel_notes
If you make software that can run on the Sugar platform, then you can use any computer or even purchase XO laptops, which might be useful for people with limited funds and limited power needs. If you work with Sugar Labs to make software, then you can use more of your funds to buy computers.
