Hi Rodney,

Really inspiring work you're planning to launch - can you tell us a bit more about how you are choosing schools in developing countries and how you plan to make schools in developing countries accountable to ensure funding is used appropriately?

Thanks and Goodluck!

I'm glad you ask! This is probably the most difficult aspect of the program, but the opportunity somehow made its way through. The President of the college that i attend happened to start an African Resource Foundation, that actually connects different organization from Africa to the World wide web, including educational institutions. During the beginning stages partnering with schools in developing countries, we will try to connect to a Third Party sponsor to hold accountable and ensure that the funding is used appropiately.
We also plan on taking teams overseas to assess the progress of these institutions. This is all on the planning stages and even now we are currently researching simpler and more accessible ways of actually establishing a partnership with schools overseas. This would take a "bridge" organization, or a Third party organization as stated...But if you have any suggestions or recommendations please feel free to share, because being in the developing stages we really need help in making this idea a reality.

Thanks,
Rodney
