There's something similar happening in Australia called the East Timor 
Community Computer Project http://www.etccp.org.au.

They take containerloads of PC's over to East Timor, and have a few members 
over there building and teaching.

I'm sure they would love to hear from CAI,  I myself would like to see some 
mutual aid in this direction, only 600km (from memory) from Darwin , it's a 
great cause, and from past emails with Margret, they also have planned 
bringing a student over here to learn how to fix laptops etc, he's keen and 
has translated computer texts into the native trading tongue of East Timor. 
Maybe something in regards training etc??

Maybe something could be arranged with regard to CAI and helping out this 
group, rather than looking overseas to the USA? We have a lot in our general 
area of the world where we can network for mutual aid... the folk involved 
are some of the most friendly and accessible people I know.

I've CC'd Margret the Melbourne contact, for her interest, I hope that's ok ..
