Margaret, that's similar to what we do.  I suggsst you
query google in several ways to locate organizations in
your area.  There are some 20 or more in Fla. Start state
wide and then local.

[DDN] Find out how we close the digital divides of developing countries without broadband....

2009-03-10 Thread Paperless Homework
Dear all expecially those in developing countries
 
 
AGE is the solution to enable for the first time , rural schools to be on par 
with urban schools or better (without broadband) 
AGE achieves the following 
 1.  Enables entire country (rural and urban) to access digital contents 
without expensive broadband
 2.  Empowers teachers from blackboard to digital enabled easily for entire 
country.
 3.  By going paperless homework/textbooks... a greener  country.
<= 4.  Lighter school bags ... use pen drives
 5.  Enable Ministry of Education to collate students' performance data for 
entire country anytime.
 (You don't have to wait for year end examination results to know the progress 
of each student for the entire country. - Get it anytime) 

These 5 "impossibles" are essentials for any viable ICT in mass Education.

Please take a look at our powerpoint presentation on how we are now helping to 
close the digital divides of developing countries. 
 
http://www.paperlesshomework.com/ppt/AGE4telecenters2.ppt

Currently countries where we have parties promoting are India, China, Tanzania, 
Uganda, Ghana, Pakistan with more developing countries joining in this massive 
global project.
 
We believe in actions not just talk to close the digital divides... on a 
massive scale.
 
So if any of you who are in developing countries (developed countries not yet) 
and are interested to implement this and get the five "impossibles", do let us 
know.
 
Try the broadband route... there is no guarantee it would ever work for 
education.

Dear Steve,

Cool!

I'd also like to point out that one of my clients is Capitol News
Connection (CNC), which has recently launched the "Ask Your Lawmaker"
initiative (AYL).

One of the questions recently posted for the U.S. Congress is related
to the broadband stimulus issue:



I'd like to encourage you, and our other colleagues, to follow the
link, and to vote up the question, if you think it's a good one!

Alternatively, you are very welcome to post questions of your own.  It
will take about one minute to register (it's free), and perhaps two
minutes to post your question on AYL.

Warm regards from Deborah

P.S.  I'm sending a CC to Melinda Wittstock, who is CNC's executive
director, and the brains behind the AYL initiative.

[DDN] Non-Profits reporting donation issues.

2009-03-10 Thread Bruce Kushnick
In going through a number of 990 IRS forms, which are required to be filed
by non-profits in the US, I have found that many groups, many who are
considered "astroturf groups" -- ie a non-profit who is directly funded by a
large corporation to look like they care about the issues from the
perspective of a minority, etc. --- are not itemizing their donations or
identifying the corporate funding --- assuming that the investigative
reporting got the corporate-non-profit ties correctly. 

Does anyone know if non-profits have to identify their funding sources? Is
there are  lower limits on the money to be required to be reports - say over
$50,000? 

And besides guidestar, are there other places to find funding information? 

Bruce Kushnick, Teletruth.
