Rose Shuman commented on Alan Foo's blog post Can current telecenters reach out to more users by many folds and really close the digital divides?

"That is a great initiative, Alan. It gets to the heart of an important issue - that ICT centers can only go so far while being sustainable. Our group, Open Mind - Question Box, is using a novel tactic to extend the reach of the Internet. We have set…"

At 7:58pm on January 26, 2009, DR. SYED MD. ZAINUL ABEDIN said…: Dear friends,
Please meet our new member Rose Shuman who has already founded
a novel telecentre facility under the title QUESTION BOX.Please visit her website and see how easily the users in Indian villages are enjoying the
innovation.
I have copied below a portion of the article published in the IndianExpress just to inform about her dedication and achievement.
Question Box was recently featured in an in-depth article online at IndianExpress.com.

People in remote areas of Pune can now be updated with the latest happenings, as Question Box comes as the perfect answer to all their questions

They have innumerable queries but few answers to them. However, a humble three-button box is now acting as their exclusive 'information bureau', giving them updates on market prices of fruits and vegetables, telling them about train timings and other day-to-day information. Thanks to this out-of-the-box idea, the residents of Ramdara (Loni) and Chandernagar village are now well equipped with information when it comes to being updated about their surroundings....

"I occasionally go to Loni village to visit my relatives. And I need to know about bus timings from Pune to Solapur. With the Question Box facility coming to the village, it becomes easier for people like me to get instant information," says Swati Mahadev Supekar, a resident of Warki.

Let us all welcome this talented lady for her participation in dynamic telecentre community.Her joining will strengthen our efforts for shaping a better world.
