I don't think I was able to post this before.  My apologies if it was:

Share your experiences and knowledge about rural education and telecommunications in Africa.

I am a doctoral student in the International Education department at New York University researching the role of telecommunications (particularly, though not exclusively, low-tech telecom. such as packet radio) in rural education in Africa. At the moment I'm doing a broad survey of this issue.

What I'm especially looking for:

The opportunity to ask people specific questions about personal experiences using telecommunications in rural education.

Leads to information comparing governmental or organizational policies with how those policies play out in reality.

I will gladly share the result of this work with any who volunteer to share their knowledge and experience. Support education; help me out!
