GKP Services

• Dear Global Knowledge,
• As Programme Coordinator of BRAC Continuing
  Education Programme in Bangladesh, your
  organization's services are of great interest to
  me. I am heading a UNICEF-funded pilot project on
  IT for Children and Adolescents through BRAC's
  rural libraries. I am interested in learning
  about other individuals and organizations in
  developing countries that are attempting IT
  education in a rural context. We are presently
  developing software for children and would like
  to sample the kind being used by other
  NGOs/institutions as well. We would also be
  interested in any reports documenting lessons
  learnt in this field.
• If Global Knowledge could offer BRAC any support
  in this regard, it would certainly increase the
  benefit for the rural children receiving these
  services. Support in terms of contact names of
  other relevant organisations doing this work in a
  rural developing context, software, and lessons
  learnt are the main references we are seeking at
  this time.
• Sincerely,
• Safiqul Islam
• Continuing Education

is made to the above stated subject. Can you
furnish us with the details of your project.
Zambia has a network of NGOs, called CHIN, and
