<div><br></div><div>Perhaps WMKE can help Camara expand the Kenya operation? Perhaps, likewise, Camara can support and help WMKE? Please take some time to look into this. </div><div><br></div><div>Could we maybe reach out to them and see if we can get them to meet us in Nairobi during my upcoming visit?</div>

<blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hey all -<br><br>yes, Khan is something that is widely distributed in the same open education resources community that our Offline Wikipedia is very popular in! There are some offline projects that already package it together with our resources along with others, including Camara[1] and the RACHEL education portal.<br>
<br>It would be awesome to figure out ways to add links (for example, at the top of a page in italics) to specific articles within the offline Wikipedia that sync to a complementary video lesson, imho :)<br><br>Jessie<br>
