Mechanics:
- Make sure your tip begins with a verb in the active voice. For example, a common tip doctors give is “Drink 8 glasses of water every day,” instead of “Eight glasses of water must be drunk every day.”
- Follow you advice/action with an explanation for why and/or how. For example, “Drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy”.
- Creativity, clarity, and relevance to the theme (20%)
- Ease of implementation (40%)
- Projected usefulness to community (40%)
Prizes:
Each of the winners will receive a goody bag from Telecentre.org Foundation containing an assortment of Telecentre.org Foundation gift items.
In addition, the winners will be featured in our “Under the Spotlight” section.

Permalink Reply by Mengistu Yilma Ayele on March 3, 2012 at 9:21pm Expansion of solar energy telecenters in rural schools that primarily targeted to serve women and girls with special attention . Schools should serve in coordinating telecenter services and digital trainings for women and girls in the school and nearby villages in addition to the regular teaching learning program. Expansion of solar energy telecenters improve the physical accessibility of such centers to the disadvantaged rural poor especially women and girls.

Permalink Reply by Rhobai Musimbi Angule on March 12, 2012 at 1:23am By creating awareness to women in the communities eg rural areas , women and girls have to be reached through awareness creation which has to be passed to them inorder to know that there are such Telecentres existing in the area unlike in the rural areas where computers are common. The Rural Living standards may block many women who are not aware of the centers from acquiring the knowledge. This means when awareness is created, the environment in which products or services can be developed, using the exchange of knowledge can enable many women available to the centres.
Learning centers should be easily accessible and remote areas should be well equipped
At the beginning it may be a hard to convince women to come to the centres and a few participants may be able to joint but gradually centres can become more established and accessed.
-learning centers should be easily accessible
-interior centres must be well equipped
Permalink Reply by Maruf Barkat Ullah on March 13, 2012 at 1:27am Use the telecentre network (that means all telecentres in the country are connected to each other) to enable the users to send money to someone who lives in another village (as the post offices are doing or like moneygram). It can increase the income of the telecentres that can bring sustainability.
