Do you have the contact for Camara? I would be curious to talk to
them about updating the version of offline Wikipedia they use on
their computer: I just downloaded it, and it is a bit outdated, and
is not Kiwix either. I think we could set them up with a better
offline version at this point.<br>
<br>
Also, did someone connect with the Engineers Without Borders
Gothenburg (See <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Kenya/Project_for_Kenyan_Schools#Small_EWB_Gothenburg_project_in_Kisumu" target="_blank">Discussion:
Small EWB Gothenburg project in Kisumu</a>)? I know their project
was explicitly in Kisumu this time around, but it might be worth
connecting with them about (a) the success of Kisumu (was supposed
to occur in February) and (b) potential interest in working with
other areas of Kenya...<br>
<br>
Great work everyone! Your efforts are truly inspirational. <br>
