I have been working on a project to use digital media and study circles to expand access to education in Tibet, working with Machik, a nonprofit NGO  who is doing some exceptional grassroots work in Tibet.  I wanted to reach out to your community because more than a few people have pointed out to me that this same model could be applied in the U.S.  I would really appreciate a community of support and any advice or help.  Any and all suggestions are welcome!

The best place to find out more about the project is in this proposal, which we just made to a digital media grant contest through Ashoka Changemakers and We Media: http://www.changemakers.com/en-us/node/68503

For discussion purposes... please see this video of the Digital Study Hall in India, which has been an inspiration to us.  It might inspire you about the potential in the U.S.  The founder of this program has been a big help to us in developing this project.
