[UgaBYTES] Drishtee to extend support to Telecentres in Rwanda

[Dean Mulozi]

Dear Paul, 
It is motivating to hear such kind of partnerhsips within telecenter development in Rwanda. Taking into account the constraintts you mentioned in rural areas of Rwanda, I think that the MOU is really going to be benefecial to telecenters in Rwanda. 

I hope you will narture this partnership for the good of the telecenters and rural population.  

Good Luck
