Re: [Wikimedia-l] internet-in-a-boxs to the refugee camps?

Well.. this is imaginable scale - I don't think if WMF have enough
resources to provide free internet to such a huge group of people packed in
a number of huge camps sometimes without basic facilities such as
electricity... See the picture of just one camp:

Syrian people live in camps in Lebanon and Turkey for third year (since
2012)... There is even not enough basic schools and simple paper textbooks
for children...

Good idea. I watched a report on TV where they said some refugees have been
waiting for years for processing. It would be nice for them to be able to
use and maybe contribute to Wikipedia while they are waiting. Maybe we
should set up edit-a-thons and wikiclasses about life in Europe and the
politics of the crisis, for the refugees and the Europeans both!

[Wikimedia-l] internet-in-a-boxs to the refugee camps?

[Leinonen Teemu]

Hello people,  

Just an idea. Number of Syrian refugees is over 4,000,000 people, mostly 
residing in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq.[1] Refugee camps are set in all 
in these countries.[2]

Internet-in-a-Box[3] is a a WiFI-device with "Wikipedia in 37 languages, a 
library of 40,000 e-books, most of the world's open source software and source 
code, hundreds of hours of instructional videos, and world-wide mapping down to 
street level.” 

Could we as a movement get the internet-in-a-box to the refugee camps?
