[Olpc-za] Projects in the Eastern Cape [was: Small question !]

[Ronald Wertlen]

Hi Lungi (and Jeff and Antoine),

I just prepared a new info page regarding our project in that area,
http://ekhayaict.com/eKhaya_ICT_Zwelenqaba.php
there is a conjunction of several projects at the area between Dwesa 
(Nqabara) and Coffee Bay - i.e. Mbashe and King Sabata Dalindyebo 
Municipalities in the Amathole and OR Thambo districts. Please refer to 
the map at the bottom of the abovementioned page.

The slant of the SELF/eKhaya ICT project is to build a good, working 
concept for Web 2.0 in African communities that do not have power. Such 
solar classrooms and community centres could feasibly provide income and 
education for the communities.

This is very similar to what the University of Fort Hare and Rhodes 
University are working on. eKhaya ICT is also contracting with the 
University of Fort Hare, so there is close cooperation on that level as 
well.

The projects Jeff Brown is powering around Hole-in-the-Wall have a more 
curriculum orientated slant and look at developing free learning 
content, as far as I have understood Jeff. Jeff, I am sure you will 
correct me, or at least expand on this.

Best regards,
Ron
