Below are my notes. In summary, Kaedi is going to be expensive for DSL
(not unreasonable, but we have to pay for it) and World Vision (NGO) in
Bababe will let us hook onto their internet for free. We should plan on
paying for power usage at each of the schools. We will need regulators
at both sites. Before i forget, we need to get cables to connect access
points together. We just added about $1,000 to Bababe and $2,000 to
kaedi, if we budget to sustain these places for the first year....
Summer time in Kaedi = rolling blackouts, up to 24 hours. In Bababe,
only power for half the day.

Will add to wiki.

Also, Mary, she gave me the numbers for transportation you had asked for
earlier.

Kaedi
has dsl available
most people won't have it, pay for it
budget in month to month for kaedi
installation plus wireless router/modem $150
$60 per month
Other NGO's might be able to pick up tabs, but no guarantees
Rolling blackouts up to 24 hour periods...maybe periodic

Bababe
World Vision office in bababe has free sattelite that we are free to
use
Child sponsorship, might work it out
Electricity is only available from noon to midnight
Diesal generation plants generate power.
Major fluctuations in power
Need regulators
Bring some games to play with kids

**Budget for power use in schools** Ginger will get us a number we can
use to budget with.

Library in Kaedi

GMCs fall under Ministry of women advances
run inside schools
Schools fall under Ministry of education
maison de jeune Ministry of Culture
strongest poossibility
reseau de jeunesse - gov run center that works with kids...puts on
plays, english classes, etc
maison des livres

Budget items for Mary from earlier (she got the numbers):
from Dakar to Rouseea budget $40 per proposal
Rousea to Noukchat $50 per proposal
Noukchat to Kaedi $120 for all 3
Noukchat to Bababe $120 for all 4
Need extra money for transport. $20/week
