[Ict4d] Masiphumelele field trip confirmed for Friday 19 June at 11AM

hi

Please use a wiki to coordinate this (and similar activities in future). 
It is very difficult and a waste of a lot of bandwidth (meaning time) 
for every such message to be sent to every person on this mailing list.

I would create the wiki page (on the ICT4D Vula site) but it seems that 
I do not have page creation permissions.

Regards,
----hussein
