[Wikimedia Kenya] Mombasa Update

[Abbas Mahmood]

Jessie-
the person that I have been in contact with is William Kibaya (kibaya at camara.ie). The CEO of Camara Kenya is Daudi Morara (daudimorara at camara.ie)
Yes, I contacted them some time back, but I'll nudge them once again -- thanks for the reminder.
Regards,

    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    their computer: I just downloaded it, and it is a bit outdated, and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)?  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

    As for Maweni, if they are ready to get computers, we
      could connect them to Camara -- which sells a refurbished edubuntu
      computer at 5k (i think). And these computers are usually
      pre-installed with offline Wikipedia.
