A while ago Thomas and Hermes had a Kids on Computers booth at a conference in Huajuapan. They spoke to many about the project, including the people that went on to set up Proyecto Min, a project using local recycled computers for schools. I was later introduced to Proyecto Min through a GNOME connection – what a small world. Full of people trying to help kids learn about technologies!
(And still plenty of work to do. Getting computers to kids is not the tough part. Maintaining the labs and teaching and empowering is where the work is. Luckily everyone is enthusiastic! Let us know if you’d like to work with all of us.)
