Re: Neil Gaiman on Audiobooks - http://blog.prathambooks.org/2009...
"Thank you for your encouragement and the belief you have in us. We have to work on building our expertise in that area as well as have enough resources for a project of such nature. We are actually doing a pilot project of books on DVD with Microsoft and Nanubhai Education Foundation. Will let you know the results of that project once we know. Also, Radio Mirchi is recording some of our books for the National Association of the Blind : http://blog.prathambooks.org/2009....... Thank you once again for your support!"

My name is Andrew Bayor. I've lived my entire life in the rural northern area of Ghana, and I have been implementing the Talking Book program in Ghana for over one year.

It's the most innovative program I've seen in poor, rural information technology -- I knew I had to get involved when Cliff first explained his vision to me. It also seems much more attuned to the needs of the target market than, say, One Laptop...
