Hi Victor,
hope you're well.
I found the campaign awsome and will be donating some money.
I was wondering whether that would be nice to donate some of them to the
global south, though import taxes might be an issue, as well as the fact
that it comes with the English Wikipedia and downloading
hehehe, victor, you are cool. because its a private initiative you use
your wikimedia mail account to advertise for it, in the video you make
sure that everybody konws you work for wikimedia foundation? the price
you give is interesting as well. on your money collection page you

Rodrigo - Thank you for pointing out the note about Meta.
Does someone want to start a place on meta where the community can organize
how to best get these devices where they need to go? I'd love to have some

This: http://schools-wikipedia.org/
is something I think would be a great option for english-speaking students,
if we can get it on the Wikireaders
Also I think I need to be clear about a possible language issue: In the USA
people like me often use the word 'kid' to mean anyone all
Hi Victor, great initiative with a huge impact multiplier :)
Regarding identifying specific language needs you might get some good
