The consequences of the TLF and its tappering into the hatching of tc.org has started to bear impact. A cooperation between UgaBYTES-Uganda and Sarvodaya-Sri Lanka was reached late night. Sarvodaya will provide community integration model guides and manuals to UgaBYTES to support the East African Network's strategy of increasing grassroots impact.
