Hi Team,
A great week with some inspirational highlights:
· Esra has officially registered World Possible Namibia to work on raising funds for spreading RACHEL in Namibia
· Mihir isn’t much further behind in India, creating Gujarati guides to install RACHEL and working on local language content
· Lisa Stern (UConnect) has a few updates from Uganda (attached) that show the incredible work our Ugandan friends (all of you!) have done to raise awareness there
· We’ve begun work on documentation and some small clean up notes to our English 64GB RACHEL-Pi image (thank you Sam, Hugh, and Denis)
· Jonathan Field is back in the states and plugging away on a web based customization portal for RACHEL local language content
· Karin K. has started to feed some great new content (bilingual) for primary school and below education in anticipation of her work in the D.R.
· Janice gets support from TZ Postal Bank for her Pi-oneer (RACHEL-Pi + mobile projector)
