Venue in Kibera for kickoff

Computer Lab Space in/near Kibera

Need to secure a computer lab space, very near to Kibera.

This should have...

• reliable internet * power
• 6-12 spots open for us every afternoon
• exact days To Be Determined .. but some good portion of the days from Nov 1 - 21.
• Printer/Scanner? (if not, ok, we will buy them)

Possibilities

Cyber Cafe at Hurlingham,Arwings Kodhek Rd,NYAKU House.The cyber is part of Kent Pharmaceuticals Ltd.I met Dr.Nyaga,the proprietor who has offered us the opportunity.The place is very secure and has reliable power and internet.They use Microsoft XP for their OS.I totally fell in love with the place!They would offer us up to 10 computers which also have Skype! dr.Nyaga agreed we could install the mapping Software.he asked me for the specifics of the size of the software and other specifics that may help him plan in avance.

Dr.Nyaga,after much negotiations,has agred we could use our printer from the premises,though he'll have to know the number of paers we are likely to print in a day.Could you help me with this info please?With this I will be able to get the final costing of hiring and using the facilities.we will be required to pay for this upfront. You could reach Dr.Nyaga on nyaga@kent.co.ke

Meals

Dove's Touch Company owned by Tonny and Terry Gobanga

We could have amazing meals/lunches at a cost of KES 250 per person,per day, for the next 3 weeks,working with 6 days with an average of 25 people,or otherwise.I am still waiting for response in regards to this aspect.

We also ned to budget for water,about 50 litres of mineral water per week should be good! Grange Park Water goes for KES 1200 for 50 litres.that should work for us. Tonny and Terry could be reached on: dovestouch@gmail.com or t.gobanga@gmail.com
