I'm giving a 30-minute presentation at the local library in Soda Springs, Idaho, on Tuesday October 12 at 7 p.m. I'll talk briefly about Lesotho geography, history, and culture, then talk about the Laptops to Lesotho project. The presentation is open to the public and is free of charge, though donations will be accepted.
A writer for the Caribou County Sun newspaper, Ellen Carney, has offered to write a story for the paper about Laptops to Lesotho and include a notice about the presentation. The library has copies of our brochure to hand out, and I'll be making flyers to post at the library and businesses around town.

Contact with Lesotho Embassy in Washington DC
I spoke on the phone with First Secretary 'M'e Matoka Phori of the Lesotho Embassy in Washington DC on Tuesday, Sept 21. She was happy to hear about our project and was very helpful. We had a very pleasant conversation. Here's what we discussed:
- L2L does not need to register with the government in Lesotho.
- Craig & I do not need work visas because we are staying less than 3 months.
- The Lesotho Government will waive customs fees for Laptops to Lesotho. I need to send them more information, then they will notify the border officials.
- 'M'e Matoka is going to make inquiries about the best computer and electronics stores to do business with.
