Dear Tak,
Hope all is well...I am following what's going on on the (gu-new) list
serve....
I guess that you may remember when you visited with us in Arlington, about the
eSlate project that I designed with my son few years ago and which he has since
implemented in Kenya on a test basis.
From the article attached, you can see that there is great potential in
this project and I would like to ask if you would be interested in
helping in one way or another to move it to the next level. Also, do you have
any contacts that would be interested in joining in this venture?
I would also like to ask if you have any thoughts on a collaboration with MI?
With kind regards. Hope this mail finds you in good form.
Hans
