> Hi Faisal,

>
> The British Moroccan Society has been working for other 30 years with local
> Moroccan charities.
> Lately, with the news from the World Bank that more than half the population
> age 15 and above in Morocco is illiterate, we have decided to focus
> our resources ( not just monetary as we are a relatively small charity but
> with 200 members) on education in rural areas ( where children's education
> is limited and sometimes non existent).
>
> We intend to open Learning Centers comprising a multi function room and a
> library. The first one will open in Talatast in 6 months time and will cater
> to more than 100 children age 6 to 12, as well as illiterate women and
> pre-school children.
>
> I would like to borrow a couple of XO laptops for 3 months to take to
> Morocco and show the children.
> It would be ideal if they had Arabic educational programs and if not at
> least French. I am French and my team partner is Moroccan. We are both
> fluent in English and can translate the programs to the children.
>
> Thank you very much for all your help.
