Dear Naila and Friends - these are my top level notes from meeting at yazmi - tebabu and stefanos can edit as necessary

Noah needs to sell 100000 units with a pathway to a million before he can be completely free to linkin dream projects of open satellite education round 5 billion people. There is a rumor that negropronte $100 laptop has closed down - this is partly a bad thing as it makes demonstrating urgency of potential critical. I mentioned the view that quite a narrow cluster of people at mit whom you mainly know have been epicentral not to laptop, but most mobile leapfrog. I also asked if he knew about kenya's nanocredit (it seemed not really)

He is already sponsoring 3 pilots (and cant do more)- one of his dreams is literacy for all - so one of the projects being sponsored connects with the indian project which is putting subtitles on films - i think this may be the program he is testing with but that would need to be checked with his team Effective Literacy Programmes › Reading for a Billion: Same Language Subtitling We mentioned Gandhi family have learn to read in 50 days project and his asia team member is happy to find out more about that. We also mentioned that when it comes to job creating curriculum we believed africa has world leading partnerships configured round Taddy with such partners as branson, google and maharishi

Yazmi can do leadership demos - ie put some pre-existing content on satellite so a leader could see the potential of free downloading anywhere a handset is

As well as,looking for the first 100000 handset project, samara is keeping eye open for right sort of investors

Hi is pleased if sir fazle abed wants to directly know more- I am not sure his surrounding team understand connections between sir fazle, jim kim , paul farmer and soros as connectors of health services for all

He wants to meet you urgently naila after my attempt to describe your work. He's off to hong kong and china this weekend. So immediately after thanksgiving appears to be the next slot

I cant imagine a nicer person owning a 5 billion person satellite access. I hope we can find the right win-win connections for everyone empowering women and millennials and notably africa's and asia's future

best
