Kenya

[Stuart Thiessen]

I was there in September, and will go back in January. I did have a  
chance to show SW to some Deaf there a little, but the internet that I  
had access to was very slow. So SignPuddle will be frustrating to use  
there, I suspect. I did hear that there was work on a new internet  
backbone to Kenya, but I don't know anything more about it. I was  
working with one of our clients there on a different project. There I  
think handwriting will be the better place to start.

Thanks,

Stuart
