Title: The Remote IT Village Project - Laos
URL: http://www.jhai.org/jhai_remoteIT.html
Description: This brief article discusses how a group of villagers in rural Laos will soon have the opportunity to connect to
the Internet and the outside world. Thanks to technology wizards and overseas funding, seemingly insurmountable obstacles such as
no electricity, no telephone lines, and harsh conditions (heavy rains)can be overcome. This initiative is particularly
interesting from a social perspective as mentoring to community elders will be provided by Youth IT Entrepreneurs.
