Dear TecMat-L Friends and Colleagues,


Rather than post the full report here, please feel free to send me E-mail, 
if interested.

This project has entered a phase where it hopes to build bridges of 
cooperation and information exchange with organizations, institutions and 
individuals worldwide.

Our deepest gratitude goes out to many of you for taking the time 
to give us advice, assistance and encouragement over these past months, and 
for showing such STRONG INTEREST.


THE FULL UPDATE REPORT

Please feel free to send us E-Mail to receive the full detailed report and 
history (which is one full E-Mail message in length) on the launching of 
this pilot project in Ghana (...and please update us on your OWN interests 
and work).


MASTER'S THESES - PhD DISSERTATIONS - RESEARCH

Of future interest to ACADEMIA: There may eventually be GREAT potential in 
this project for Master's theses, Doctoral dissertations or other serious 
research...for highly motivated advanced graduate students or researchers 
who want to make a contribution.  This can be discussed at a later point.


W O R K I N G   I N   G H A N A 

We hope to build a network, via E-Mail, of persons interested in the area, 
and potential, of electronic education in Africa, and, further, who are 
willing to give of themselves to help brainstorm, improve and tweak aspects 
of this project, from curriculum development to finding/shipping donated 
computer equipment, from locating much-needed funds to actually going to 
Ghana on their own, rolling up their sleeves, and lending a hand.

We want to explore how Africans and friends of Africa can work together to 
put the Internet to better use for Africa.

institution that will be able to offer high quality instruction...all 
without building buildings and highways and parking lots..."  (Dr. Steve
