(NB: With all the recent twitchiness on the list, I don't know if this is acceptable type of mail to post to the list. So if not please let me know, and I'll do appropriate penance)
I am forwarding an e-mail I received on in case there are any Android developers who would be interested in helping these people out. There seems to be some budget.
They don't really mind where the person is based, but Skype would be a requirement.

>> We are looking for a programmer to join us in developing an app for Android. The development work will be done with our experienced developer, so you don’t need to be a master programmer in order to qualify! The work starts right away and continues for the next two months. We have some limited funds to pay for the work.
>>
>> Details about the job: We're looking for an eager programmer to join our team and assist us on the app. We're hoping for about an 80 hour commitment over the next couple months and we also have some limited funds available. The development work will be done in collaboration with the experienced developer in our team in his guidance, so you don’t need to be a master programmer in order to qualify. This is a good opportunity to learn and also develop your skills!
>>
>> User stories are provided. For lot of the functionalities there are existing libraries. We will be using a cloud storage API, so a big chunk of the work will be about developing the UI.
>>
>> About the project: We're a team of four people working on a project to bring life-changing technology to people living in the slums of Africa. Called Virtual SafeBox, we facilitate and provide access to online storage space where people can store copies of their important documents (such as birth certificates, National IDs, etc.). Our project sprang from the Designing Liberation Technologies class at Stanford earlier this year.
>>
>> Being able to access such a copy can lessen the waiting time for getting a new original by months, which can mean life or death for someone in the slum trying to get a job or medicine. We've been working on this project for over 6 months and have already tested working prototypes of our product in various slums in Nairobi. For more information, check out our blog:http://designinglibtech.tumblr.com/
>>
>> About the team: Our team consists of two PhD students, a programmer with over 8 years of professional experience, and a social entrepreneurship professional. We're currently developing an Android app and are planning on launching our product in Kenya at the end of November.
>>
>> Location: We operate mainly from Stanford campus and the Bay Area - however, you don't need to be located here, as long as you are reachable by Skype or other means of communication.
>>
>>
>> Please email us and let us know if you're interested or have any questions! We are very excited about this project - welcome to join us!

>> Thanks,
