You're right, Nandalal. I was given the contact to the OpenMRS to invite 
them to the OSHCA conference in May by the new director of ICT for IDRC 
as I understand that the project in Africa is quite exciting. As soon as 
I get a firm commitment on the funding for scholarships for those 
outside the ASEAN region, I'll get in touch with them.
