Thank you Dr. Ndemo for bringing interesting facts to fore, the example you chose of the airport hit the nail on the head, Wamuyu also brings in interesting perspectives, Dr. Ndemo are there specific interventions required from the private sector and civil society to bridge the gap?, recently you made a call for volunteers and the response was great, it just shows that there are willing Kenyans out there but they don't know where to start, to be specific what are some of the opportunities that the private sector and civil society might not be seeing and what would you expect of them to make this vision of ICT in education a reality?, Listers feel free to contribute to this discussion..
GG/Barack, thanks for the interesting and important thread. Hopefully, people with vision and integrity will step out to cleanse those weekend public rallies.
This discussion shows that a lot of info/knowledge exists but is not shared. So, in a sense, Kenya's lack of development and even the hunger is about an information/ed imbalance. I would suggest that the PS primarily supports network availability in all corners of the country. I watched some people in Marsabit walk over 30kms to climb a tree where, when lucky, catch a network. With google in Kiswahili, imagine the resource these folks are missing and how that could translate into solving their immediate problems.
On that note, I am looking for the recipe for sorghum ugali (google sites focus on how healthy it is but I cant find a recipe). With the uncertainty on GMO maize, I am weaning myself of that good white stuff and plan on eating the red. I think many perennially hungry folk would also benefit from such info.
