H O P E


Recently my brother Don and his family, along with 2 other families made a trip to Ladakh to volunteer with a Non Profit, 17000 ft foundation.

One of the major projects of the foundation was its Library Project.

The cost of setting up a library is an expensive proposition. And it has several limitations. Only 1 person can borrow a book, updating with new books periodically is difficult. You need space.You need ...

This set off a thought process. There has to be a better way. And that thought led to HOPE.


HOPE stands for the hope of getting education to the billions that don't have it, a few thousand at a time. HOPE is also an acronym for
"High-speed Outernet Powered Education."

In the era of the Internet and the almost ubiquitous availability of educational content, we seem to have forgotten accessibility. A relatively small % of people have access to the Internet. And a small fraction of that have access to sufficient bandwidth and data to be able to read and view educational material.


HOPE brings the Internet to those without access in the form of the Outernet. Here's a brief presentation on the concept and a prototype.

We'd love to have your feedback and support on the project. Please contact me if you'd like to be involved in the HOPE Project and bringing a life changing Hope to the billions.
