Hello, Assalaam alaykoum. I am a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mauritania, at the southwestern edge of the Sahara desert. The technology divide is large here. A tiny minority (like me) have access and the know-how to use the internet. But many kids here don't even have a single pen or notebook in order to attend school. Don't even think about books (they are virtually not to be found--even the teachers often don't have them).
These kids, if they never see the inside of a classroom, will never catch up and cross the information divide. If you would like to help in this effort, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or at the address or telephone listed below) for more information.
