It works around building capacity of grassroots telecentres to be more effective and efficient in service delivery.

Thanks for the resourceful work you continue to render in the development of Africa. I am a development officer from Liberia and I had an ardent desire in using my skill in setting up Telecentre network for Liberia. Liberia Community Telecenters Network Project for Sustainable Development. The Liberia Community Telecenters (LCT) project will involve establishment of a network of at least five telecenters in five counties, to be managed by the Liberia Chapter of the Internet Society(ISOC-Liberia) and local partners in both the public and the private sector, providing internet connectivity, public telephone, fax and e-mail as well as basic information and a host of ICT applications.

I would greatly appreciate your advice and suggestion in going ahead with this project.

Given the fact that you work with a telecentre and have a vast experience in telecentre activities, can you please forward some pictures from your telecentre ( taken by you) or else, you can encourage other telecentre operators or users in your community to participate? I am sure their a good experiences you can share with us and that are worth to win reconnection and awards from telecentre.org.

Waiting to hear from you!!

Regards,

San!
