Benoit, our desert volunteer is ready to go back to Gao to manage our new field agents.2009-04-08 06:25:46Tihissemahouihttp://mali.geekcorps.org/?action=reader&itemID=4&contentID=12The first radio masts designed by Geekcorps arrived today to the office. This new design allows having a perfect signal broadcast on 360 degres. We are very impatient to test it on the field with our new transmitters. 2009-04-14 05:24:41Olivier Alaishttp://mali.geekcorps.org/?action=reader&itemID=4&contentID=10The Geek team is ready to go this Friday to visit the village of Kelea.
