In case you thought nothing was happening on the Goa Schools Computer Project after you donated money to it... you're wrong. A lot of behind-the-scene activities are underway, even if this doesn't get widely publicised.
In particular, Alwyn and Lisa Noronha (no relations of mine) in Chorao, have been doing a great job in pushing the idea ahead. After Sangeeta, Shruti has taken over as the main link person for the next six months or so. What is particularly needed now is people who could take on the responsibility of egging on particular schools (even if it's just one school in the village you come from) to take the idea forward. Motiving teachers, giving ideas to school managements, pointing to software easily available, getting local volunteers to support the idea... you can do all this and more, from wherever you're based.
