[UgaBYTES] Heritage content in Syrian countryside Memory | whats the role of telecentres

[nabil eid]

Thank you Meddie for your comments.

I think that each country has own special heritage and may be all colleagues
from other world countries can make summary about heritage content in their
countries therefore, we can get and collect a good content to added in
Telecentre.org through new link  "heritage digital content" to every member
in Telecentre.org

So, we can make data base may be expanding and extending in the future to
great heritage encyclopedia content.
