Off to North Africa

I’ll be away through the end of next week, so blogging will be slow. First up is a trip to meet the participants in our current videoconferencing program in Gabes, Tunisia. We have a wonderful group of young women participating – it just takes a while to reach Gabes (5 hours by shared cab from Tunis). We’ll also be attempting to troubleshoot some of the technology problems we’ve had lately in trying to link our IP-based videoconferencing system in New York with an ISDN version in Gabes.

After that it’s a week of relaxation in France. I don’t expect to be online much while I’m there – regular blogging will resume the week of 2/25.

In the meantime, a snapshot of our Tunisian participants during a recent videoconference in New York.
