Seems there may be something to the idea shared in my last entry – certainly struck a chord with some judging by the comments. For a practical application of what was suggested take a look at this article: HHS to Provide New Interactive Book of Health Information to Women of Afghanistan and Their Families
A quote from the article..

“Secretary Tommy G. Thompson today announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will distribute pioneering interactive women’s health books built with the LeapPad learning system technology throughout Afghanistan this year, aimed especially at helping Afghan women who cannot read or write.”

Perhaps it’s not so far-fetched???
