Dear Quinn/Satish,

 

Great to hear! We are New York based ICT solutions provider company, Sintel
Satellite Services (www.sintelsat.com <http://www.sintelsat.com/> ). I am
also in the UN GAID Champions Network, however currently traveling in
Djibouti and Ethiopia for telecom projects implementation. Last March we
were in Cameroon and were involved in multiple telecom projects in the
region with US Embassy's support. Please visit our web site and if you see
synergies, we can perhaps discuss some joint efforts. We are always looking
for like minded efforts in the developing world. I will be back in the NY
office next week. I have copied my associate Kelly Baumann who will be happy
to entertain any initial information request.

 

Regards,

Sanjay Singhal, BE, MS, Exec-MBA

Yes Satish, I am a High-Level Advisor to GAID and have been involved 
with several of their activities. Currently the Digital Alliance is 
exploring an agressive expansion with pilot projects lining up in 
Africa (Ethiopia, Senegal, Ghana, and Mozambique), the Middle East 
(Jordan), Asia (Uzbekistah, Nepal and India) and Latin America 
(Mexico and Uruguay). 

Our basic aim is to leverage existing resources and provide 
culturally relevant vocational skills to enhance local economies. 
This can take many forms. In Jordan we are looking at supplementing 
ICT training for young women in traditional schools. In Africa we 
are looking at digital literacy training for aid agencies and select 
governmental agencies. In India we just brokered a deal for a 
computer lab at a school for the children of the leprosy-affected. 

I am always looking for a good project...

Best,
Quinn
