[Ubuntu-PH] Fwd: Application announcement: 2006-2007 RDVP Fellowship

[Yolynne Medina]

Hi Sir Barbon!

I am also interested in the idea, actually my father and his siblings
own a farm land on Cotabato.
I also wanna bring technology in the area kasi.  Can you help me out
with a proposal for the cooperatives, I also have an uncle who works
in the cooperative and is quite open with the technological
advancement advantages.  I can bring up this topic to him , when I go
to Davao sometime in March.

More Power and God Bless!

Sincerly,
Yolynne
