Dear Abdeldjalil –

That is our intention.  To help convene and provide a place where more information can be exchanged to help connect the unconnected in a sustainable way – local solutions with local ideas and expertise.

Thank you for your interest and very much grateful that you can help spread the word!

Best,
Jane
