Hello All,
as volunteers of Italian Computer Scientist without Frontiers (ISF) we have recently sent a laptop with Thunder free screen-reader for XP http://www.screenreader.net/index.php?pageid=13&section=Thunder%20and%20Manuals
to Kenya to Turu, a special person whose story is here:
http://www.informaticisenzafrontiere.org/viewen.php?id=71

Now Turu teaches to children who are little patients in Sololo Hospital and can read documents and e-mail without problems.

I share this in case could be of help for a quick startup.

in case you should be interested I have further qualified (more than I am) contacts to supply to you in case of interest on the subject:
- In Italy we have a specialized NGO: ASPHI http://www.asphi.it/english/HomePage.htm very active in developing of Projects to reduce a handicap by means of Information Technology
- Handimatica 2008 is ASPHI’s national event closed just a few days ago:
http://www.handimatica.it/Handi2008/English2008/Handimatica2008.htm
If you have particular topics of interest I can contact them and a friend who is Prof. at Turin Politecnic who attended the event this year.
As a final item, in ISF our volunteers IT association
http://www.informaticisenzafrontiere.org/viewen.php?id=9
we have an expert who is equipping a van with special technology aids for delivery to different able people I can get details in case.
WKR,
Aldo
