George, Lucy and Peter, thank you for your comments and for giving all of us some insight into the challenges you all are facing.

I personally understand. When I lived in Kampala my job was to work with groups of volunteers to teach them the computer and to start the very first Click4Africa program. The challenges you speak of like fear of the computer, reading and writing in English, and having the time to sit on the computer are the very same challenges we faced then.

I will make some comments on each of these and I hope that others will follow suit and that somehow we can work through these challenges together. I will make my comments below in idividual posts because I have found that shorter posts are easier for my African friends to manage.
