I understand what you are saying about the donation part, and the
advantage of a track record.  As I understand it, Lagos, Nigeria, is a
huge metropolis?

The training of volunteers will be handled best by your recording
studio, and should be quite attractive to the community around you.  I
don't foresee any big obstacles there.

What's so extraordinary, is your having access to broadband and
telephone line for communication.  I would hope we can develop a modest
communications setup for remote access by volunteer technical support
and for long-distance training.  Even if we only schedule, initially,
one hour a month, that would be absolutely fantastic!
