Thank you that write. Yes, we started our telecentres development in 2001 and at the moment we have 102 telecentres. In 2007 we developed the Alliance of this telecentres – is good that we created this alliance because we can work together to enforce our community. Almost 80 telecentres are involved in work of Alliance. The program of telecentres in Moldova is developed by Soros Foundation Moldova. Unfortunately we don„t have a strong representation of Microsoft Company in Moldova, and seems to be that the representation is not so interested to cooperate with nongovernmental organizations in Moldova. How much time you work with Microsoft UP Program and which is there contribution?
We have quite many telecentres in north of Moldova. Please say me from which place are you in Bucovina? Do you have telecentres near to Moldavian border in Bucovina?
Now we are building our national portal and soon the information will be available in both Russian and English.
Best regards,
Ion Braga
