I love the open communication that the comments afford. oneVillage Foundation in 2007 launched the building of Open Digital Villages(ODIVs) at all of its 4 operational countries. These ODiVs are just like telecentres but a quite unique. We refer also to them as 'Unity Centers'. The first ODiV has been established by oneVillage Foundation Ghana at Winneba, Ghana known as the Winneba Open Digital Village(WODiV). This village has offices that houses oneVillage Foundation in Ghana. It also has Training Rooms, a Conference room, an Internet Business Solution Unit(Internet, computer repairs, scanning, printing), a base station that monitors our WODiVNet Community Wireless Network in Winneba. The goal is to build a sustainable model that can be replicated in other parts of Ghana and Africa.
It will interest you to know that WODiV has served as a center to host both national and international capacity building workshops and conferences. Please see our capacity building website at http://www.simpasummits.net/
