I am part of an effort to promote the use of simple computer networks to
overcome the great difficulties that people in Kenya (and Africa in
general) have in acquiring information.

A number of sel-help organizations are involved in the effort including the
Kenya Association for the Advancement of Computer Technolgy (KAACT) to
which I belong.

We appeal to anyone interested to help with procurement of modems (2400 to
9600 baud external) which are badly needed but not affordable by the health
and educational institutions we  seek to help. Modems may be new or used. 

You may contact me for further info regarding this effort.  Thanks.
