[liberationtech] Core i3 Chromebook for a digital inclusion activist

[Andrés Leopoldo Pacheco Sanfuentes]

WoW amazing!!!

This may be of interest to the good people of LUPE (La Unión del Pueblo Entero, www.lupenet.org) in their campaign to get kids in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas ready for online school.

The other part of the puzzle is ubiquitous WiFi in the “Colonias!”
