Abbas, We can hire projectors if need be, they go for about Kshs. 2500 - 4000 per day. I think that should not really be a hindrance. Also, if anyone of us has access to something they can borrow... I think it would take this project a step further. David.

Hi? I am also for the Nairobi idea. I think it will be much more successful in that more schools and colleges will be brought into picture if at all the Nyeri plan seems to have drawbacks. On the other hand, Nairobi should be a major focus for us since it will be easier and more convenient to carry out our follow up after the whole exercise. cheers, Lilian. --- On *Thu, 1/27/11, Abbas Mahmoud &lt;abbasjnr(a)hotmail.com&gt;* wrote: From: Abbas Mahmoud &lt;abbasjnr(a)hotmail.com&gt; Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Nyeri Plan B To: "Wikimedia Kenya" &lt;wikimediake(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Date: Thursday, January 27, 2011, 9:29 AM Oscar, Grace is from Nyeri and I have been trying to talk to her onto whether she could previsit Nyeri. She can do so, but there are some setbacks: The Nyeri team cannot undertake the pilot on March. This is because Msa and Kakamega will be using the projectors at that time. Pushing it forward to February is almost impossible as most of the people have either internships or exams. And since schools close on April, that would mean pushing it forward to May -- as a last resort. Rather than doing "Thika-Nairobi-Murang'a-Kiambu" that you are suggesting, I think it's better to consider Nairobi only. This way we would manage to engage Oliver and Dennis -- who were enquiring why we had removed Nairobi out of the picture. I also remember Google was of the same opinion that we should include Nairobi as well. Not that I support the change of Nyeri to Nairobi, but this is just an idea I had as a last resort.

On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 6:34 PM, Limoke Oscar <oslimoke@gmail.com<http://mc/compose?to=oslimoke@gmail.com> Hey Guys, Looks like we can not undertake the Pilot in Nyeri.I thus wold like to float an alternative: - that we undertake the pilot n the Thika-Nairobi-Murang'a-Kiambu area.Its close to Nairobi and bet someone on the list is well versed with the area. - the area is in larger Central region and as such wont contradict or budget and plans. - incorporate KU in the Pilot (we owe them,kill 2 stones with 1 bird :) )and a few middle level colleges around(trust me colleges are so eager to have it than High schools) - or explore Davids earlier suggestion of Makueni (Ukamabani) and have someone take the previsit ASAP. What do you guys think? -- Limoke Oscar, Wikimedian in Kenya, Cell:+254 717 845 316 _______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org<http://mc/compose?to=WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake -- ------------- David Mugo, ICT & E-Commerce Consultant, http://majibu.com Twitter: @raidarmax _______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org<http://mc/compose?to=WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake -- Samson Arosi Maosa, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Bsc.
