I have just received this email from John Rowe, headteacher Hope CE Primary School, if anyone can help him drop him an email.

Hi Steve,

I’m currently involved in a project to try and arrange for a network in schools in Burkina Faso to have access to ICT.

The country one of the poorest in the world and is being affected by the effects of global warming, the Sahara desert continues to expand southwards with devastating consequences for the Northern part of the country.

This project is designed to raise standards of education in the country, especially girls, since a much higher premium is placed on the education of boys. The network of 8 urban schools we will be supporting are revolutionary in the country since girls education is placed on equal terms with boys.

The project also aims to use open source, web2.0 software to keep costs down.

If any school has any old computers which they are not using, maybe considered obsolete, please could they get in touch with me via e-mail.

Maybe this appeal could be included in the LA blog?

Thanks for your time, have a great weekend,

John.
