> Dear all,
> I am looking for educational materials for basic and high school learners.

> I recently embarked on a project to support children in poorly resources communities with educational content. This is my response to a distressing and desperate situation I experienced over many years working in ICT enabled school projects across the country. The project is called Careerlink which basically seeks to link young people's career ambitions to useful career materials. Given the different circumstances these learning communities are in, we are using a variety of ways to share educational content. But one method which has proved not only popular but effective is the DVD based materials, mainly for those with computers (several have donated pc but without content). 
> So what have been doing is gather all kinds of educational materials such as study materials, career guidance materials, test and assessment materials. Then a group volunteers, mainly retired teachers, have helped edit and review them. Then we have been scanning thousands of these materials, some dating back to five years back, into PDF format. We are doing this for basic and high school children, and very limited quantities for vocational students. I am now in the process of putting them on DVD for distribution but then I feel I can still add more other materials. 
> 
> After quickly consulting with local teachers about what else I can add. I am informed that I should consider adding some reference materials too such as 3D digital world maps for geography, English dictionary, offline wikipedia, digital bible, log tables, any charts, science posters etc. Also some educational games and software for art and design students.
> 
> I am therefore asking if any of you guys have seen or have access to such free resources which you share with me. 
> The resource DVD will be properly labeled and all those who will contribute to it will be fully credited. The DVD which is produced with support from partner organizations is intended to be given to students free of cost.

> Thanking you in advance
