malaria and the digital divide

Dear Muhammad,

It will be nice for my students to learn from your students since, as you said, you live in a malaria endemic region. Let me tell you a little about my school and students. My students are 13 and 14 years old. We are a school with 420 students in a town about 40 Km from the city of Denver. We are in are very close to the rocky mountains and at an elevation of 1500 m. I teach Life Science and Earth Science at this school.

I understand your problem with internet connectivity. We have been working for several years with a school in Kenya that does not have internet or reliable electricity in their school. The teacher from that school will hopefully join our conversation. Where are the computers that you use? Do you have to pay for your internet time at a cafe? If so, how do you get the money to pay for this? Do your students have access to computers at a cafe?

I hope that we can find a way for our students to communicate through email and the blog.

All the best,
Bill
