In May 2005, we brought you the first issue of 50x15 Connections, and with that, we began to tell you our stories. Stories of…

• Children in rural communities around the world staying in school because they now have access to computers
• Adults old and young gaining new skills to help them compete for better jobs
• Senior citizens re-connecting with lost family members and documenting generations of heritage because they now have access to computers
• The digital divide, and even more importantly, the stories of the challenges and successes we've seen while working to cross economic and cultural chasms
• Our adventures in Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Uganda, Mali, Burkina Faso, India, and China, among others. (For those of you who have joined us recently, links to our previous journal entries can be found here).

Now, we're turning the tables.

Tell us your story. Here are some ideas...

• In your travels around the world, what have you noticed about Digital Inclusion?
• Where have you seen the longest lines for a computer terminal at a cyber café?
• Where have you been surprised to find Internet access?
• Have you been in a situation where you thought if someone just had a computer life would be so different?
• Have you witnessed a child or an adult sitting down at a computer for the first time and unleashing the wonders of the World Wide Web?

We ask you these questions not because we want you to answer them specifically, but to get you thinking. As a reader of this newsletter, what stories do you want to read? That's the question that we'd like you to answer.

In the first issue of 50x15 Connections, we explained the goal of this newsletter: to deliver useful news and information about 50x15 and related subjects. We value your opinion, and from here on out, hope that you will contribute to our mission and to our vision by sharing your learnings and adventures with all readers of 50x15 Connections.
