Remember that bandwidth need not be a live Internet connection. I recently passed a Compact Flash containing a number of key presentations from IT Conversations to a colleague in rural Guyana.
In his village he doesn't even have a computer, let alone an Internet connection. Yet that lack of bandwidth does not limit him with podcasting, he'll be using an MP3 player to listen to the podcasts and will be using what he learns from them to convince the village community that they need an IT Centre.

Would this information be appropriate to share with the community in Ago-Are - to give them a clearer vision of the potential of their InfoCentre?
They do have computers (not very high spec but some do include sound).
Could the info go to them on a CD?.
What are the accents like? How fast do the contributors speak? i.e. How well must my Ago-Are people understand English to make sense of it? (The people I have in mind to listen can understand my English - but not if I speak too fast - i.e my usual rate...).
By the way does this renewed activity mean that the floods have gone down and life is getting a little easier there in Guyana now - I hope so......
