[IAEP] Google Rise Awards

[Sandra Thaxter]

Sugar Labs Friends,
                 I didn't see your proposal,  but I suspect from looking at 
the winners, connecting to communities on the ground, who are grassroots 
organizations is more their focus.

Small Solutions is thinking of applying to support the village XO projects 
in HIV/AIDS education, and the wonderful work of Peter Amunga (local Kenyan 
school teacher and playwrit) at Eshibinga with Jiggers. 
http://eshibinga.wordpress.com.  But let's work together, keep each other 
informed.

Sugar is wonderful.  It's not that the green machine isn't but with out your 
Sugar work, we would be nowhere.
