Ms.Smitha Rao's NGO adopted the use of LTSP software for one of their
schools.Mr.Zabil helped her with the installation and technical
support.Mr.Herald from Hyderabad had developed course ware which is also
being in some schools.

Smitha writes in to say ....
 
Dear All,
             I am Smitha Rao, I work for a non-profit Organisation-
Shala Network in Bangalore.
Our focus is 'IT in Education' and thus we support rural
under-priviledged schools with computers and related
infrastucture,making available the relevant educational content in the
local language,Training of teachers,evaluation and monitoring of the
programe...etc,  we have partnered with another non-profit
Organisation- S3IDF which concentrates on Rural Infrastructure
Development.
We have executed projects in rural parts of Chitradurga and Bellary.

We would be interested in developing good content for educational
purposes using Open source softwares and LTSP solutions.

Thanks,
Smitha

I think these few areas that FSUG members can help out Smitha's NGO by

1) Developing Course ware that be used in schools.
2) Localisation of course ware into Kannada.
3) Unidentifing new application that can be used for education and
incorporating local content in these tools.
4) Providing help to install,maintain and train the use of LTSP based
solutions.

Yesterday, I met Mr.Veena who's starting to work with another NGO in BR
Hills near bangalore.If people can come forward to help, there is
nothing like it.

Have a great day
