Volunteers Needed for e-Infrastructure Pilot Project in Canada and Nepal PDF Print E-mail

The POA Educational Foundation is looking for volunteers in Canada and Nepal who have interest in, and are able to help with the e-Infrastructure Project. Volunteers in Canada may have the opportunity to travel to Nepal to help set-up the infrastructure, define required processes and required training around this project.

Nepal is one of the bottom 20 poorest countries in the world. The foundation with some partners has recently launched a pilot project (E-Infrastructure Project ) in Nepal by donating 50 computers and 10 printers to 10 schools in Kathmandu valley. Project's target is to send 5,000 computers to Nepal and develop a training curriculum.

Volunteers will help help collect 5,000 computers as well as work on shipping, deployment, infrastructure requirements as well as associated training plan, content and delivery. Volunteers may have the opportunity to travel to nepal to set-up the infrastructure and manage distribution of these computers. If you are motivated to "bridge the digital divide" in Nepal and have entrepreneurial attitude, please contact Ashutosh Jha ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ).
