We are extremely pleased to announce the successful shipment of 150+ laptop computers, servers and and enough accessories to start at least two computer centers in our continuing ICT4T project. The computers left Japan and arrived in Kenya in early October. They are now being carefully tended to as we work with our Kenyan partners to begin installation. Please check out our ICT4Tomorrow pages to find out what we intend and how you can help.
