Kafui,
Good that you are home in Winneba.
Please do keep us updated. Fred, Dan and Kolschie are doing the wsfii in Goa. I am making plans to make it down to Auroville. Just to inform you that George Chan, the devoted teacher on integrative farming and waste management system, is going through brain surgery. This means the eco living practices must be accelerated in paralle with the access to information that wsfii is aiming to do.
Send you all good energy,
Joy

Hi All,
I have arrived home, Ghana, safetly. Have also initiated discussions to host you all next year and this is going well. Other meetings are scheduled for the coming week and will keep you all in the loop.
Fred, Dan & Kolschie, hope you enjoy your trip to Goa and thanks to the indepth explanation on the feifunk mesh network.
Gideon, I just called your phone but it was off. Will get back sometime next week. Don't hesitate to call (my numbers below) anytime you get this mail. We need and have to collaborate to make this a success. Please keep a few days in Jan. 2007 open for some meetings as the President of OVF, Joy Tang and some crew from the US will be visiting to map out a clearer strategy.
Best regards...

Hi Harry, Adrian and all,
We WSFII's gathering in Dharamsala, India at the moment are discussing in
the last days
of the WSFII workshop, about the next World Summit. So many pointers are
popping up in the direction of Ghana, Africa that it seems very likely that
WSFII will go there in 2007.
I would like to introduce Kafui from the University in Winnaba, Ghana. He is
here in Dharamsala and offers us a space for our next gathering in
the coastal town. Please contact Kafui < kafui at onevillagefoundation.org> and
it would also be nice if you joined the wsfii-discuss mail list at
http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/wsfii-discuss so we can hear what
wireless projects are taking shape in Ghana,
Thanks Fred
