Hello Florian,
good to see that you are pushing this thing forward.
So does this mean that the merchandise is only going to NLC projects
Basically, it can go to everyone who is able to coordinate and deliver,
but I guess 1-3 persons per country are enough.

That's another interesting idea. To market PCs for the kids to take home

thats a really good idea as well as it increases incentives of "box

So there are companies that specialize on Micro-finance which means they
loan people money so they can start their own business or expand their own
business. However this businesses are so small that the loans are also

work will be used. :-)
