We are interested in helping and supporting communities like yours through the internet with online information. Two areas of mutual interest are community empowerment and education. Here are links to information and resources about each. There are a number of people involved with us on these initiatives who would be available to work with you to explore how we could work together.


 * Community Empowerment - provides information in many languages. The author of the guide is a friend and is available to answer questions you might have about any information in the guide. http://cec.vcn.bc.ca/cmp/modules/emp-ce.htm


 * WikiEducator - Open Educational Resources (OERs) - online learning materials to replace textbooks. Many resources have been developed and are available for immediate use. Others are planned and will be completed soon. http://wikieducator.org

There are a number of sources of free educational materials that can be used, modified and redistributed by you as you wish. We can help you locate or create OERs for the broad range of educational needs that you listed. There is also a very active African online education network that has additional resources specific to local languages and preferences.

Please let me know if these are of interest and how you think we can work together.
