Hi Everyone!

Just a note to let you know that we plan to have an online forum on Community 
Networking – this is the first one in a series that we hope to have.
So, if you are not part of it now, we would love to have you with us for a 
future one!!

The Internet Society is organizing a special live event focused on ‘Community 
Networking’. These are projects that bring Internet connectivity to communities 
previously isolated from the digital revolution.
Be it high into the Himalayas, deep into the country side of India or the hills 
of Mexico, we will hear from people are taking the Internet to places where a 
cell phone connection can help save lives, educate children or connect loved 
ones.

Internet Society (ISOC) está organizando un evento especial en vivo que se 
centrará en las “Redes comunitarias”. Se trata de proyectos que llevan 
conectividad a Internet a comunidades que habían quedado aisladas de la 
revolución digital.

Ya sea en las alturas del Himalaya, en recónditas zonas rurales de la India o 
en las sierras de México, escucharemos a las personas que están llevando 
Internet a lugares donde la conexión a un teléfono celular puede ayudar a 
salvar vidas, educar niños o conectar a seres queridos.

Únase a nosotros el 28 de junio a las 13 h UTC para asistir a un debate sobre 
los proyectos de redes comunitarias:
