For us in the West who can easily access the Internet, it is easy to believe that the same is true everywhere else in the world.
But for communities in need, accessing the Net maybe more a problem than a solution!
First you need a computer and a phone line. Those cost money that will come from "selling mangoes and bananas" as friend put it, and a lot of them. Second youneed someone who know how to use the Internet.
Of course there is the solution of the omnipresent Internet cafe, though I doubt it would be easy to find one in a refugee camp in Uganda… And young people are nowaday familliar with basic internet features (emails and forum).
Hence, the aims of an OVO is immediately curtailed to solving problems of communities which can reasonably access the internet, even thought there is no guaranty that the community can easily and regularly access the net.
What you say?
