Sounds pretty good. Who were some of the bigger players who financed these? I been fretting about how to raise money for 500 or at least 100 XOs to Ghana. I'll be returning to Ghana in a few months and want to put something together. Advice most welcome.
What educational arguments were made to justify buying and shipping all these 2 million? Please advise. Ghana's population is about 22 million. I "suppose" that there are 1.8 million in the 3rd-8th grade age group (my rough calculation attached). at $220 a pop, US $410 million is needed to supply XOs to these students. Shipping,and volunteer tech support costs are not included. george pope On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 5:19 AM, Robert Fadel <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 23:06, James Cameron <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> I agree with Walter.
