Teaching Scratch in Ghana, West Africa
Am a 25yr old computer engineer and have been playing with scratch for a while.
I will like to teach scratch to children in Ghana and will appreciate a few ideas on how to start. people will like to teach in Ghana are also welcome.

Thanks for the link. found it to be very useful
Am currently writing an article on scratch to be published on a local newspaper in Ghana. This should expose Scratch to the public here.
Anyone interested in volunteering a helping hand is welcome. lets have fun!

During the Scratch@MIT conference, a guy named Krystof Haber presented about his experience using Scratch with aboriginal children in the Australian desert. You might want to connect with him. See more about his presentation in the program http://scratch.mit.edu/conference
