Source: The Zimbabwe Mirror at: http://www.africaonline.co.zw/mirror/stage/archive/990716/national19753.html The Rural Libraries and Resources Development Programme (RLRDP) will this Saturday launch the country's first ever donkey-drawn mobile electro communication library cart in the Nkayi district of Matabeleland North. RLRDP official Obidiah Moyo said apart from being a donkey-drawn library cart, the invention will work as a centre for electro- communication, enabling users to access radio, television, telephone, fax, e-mail and internet services. This would enable rural and isolated communities who were deprived of communication to access such services, he said. The invention, a brain-child of Moyo, would use solar power supplied by a unit installed at the roof of the cart. This cart could also be provided with an aerial or satellite dish for a wider and clearer electro-communication system. The cart would be used in all sorts of terrain and could also be attached to a network system linking several villages. In the past the RLRDP has come up with various innovations that make information and communication accessible to disadvantaged communities. In 1995, it launched the first ever donkey drawn mobile library. - - - - - - - - - - - Now, Perry. Aren't you a little inspired to start down the road of creative thinking, and productive participation, or do you feel that nonproductive "devil's advocacy" is the desired posture? thanks, and your friend, I remain, tom ------------ ***GKD is solely supported by EDC, an NGO that is a GKP member*** To post a message, send it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
