[Wikimedia Kenya] Mombasa Update

[Jessie Wild]

Abbas -

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computer: I just downloaded it, and it is a bit outdated, and is not 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.

  Also, did someone connect with the Engineers Without Borders 
Gothenburg (See Discussion: Small EWB Gothenburg project in Kisumu 
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Kenya/Project_for_Kenyan_Schools#Small_EWB_Gothenburg_project_in_Kisumu>)?  
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...

Great work everyone!  Your efforts are truly inspirational.
Jessie
