Information and Communication Technologies for Development

Right now I'm on the hunt for:
A book to buy online of Malawian folktales/children's stories. This one website I found that I thought was a winner, apparently might not have the book in stock. Alas! This leaves me with my other alternative, which was a book with just one folktale from Malawi called "The Mean Hyena", which seems to be a well-known one. I'd still like to get as many as possible though. My Plan B is to search some libraries for it - I have a library card to Harvard's library, although I think it was good for only one semester. Maybe I could still get access. They're pretty strict on outsiders using their libraries though...

Our original plan with the website contents was to go through each potential website that we wanted to use, open the source code in Dreamweaver and take out what we didn't want or needed to modify. This would prove to be extremely complex and time-consuming - in short, nearly impossible to do on a large number of websites. So instead, now I'll look for websites for us to use, then Paul has a "spider"(?) program which can streamline websites and cut out external links.... it sounds like some sort of magic program, but I like it!

Also, I'm going to take the advice of the student from lecture today who suggested not contacting just pediatrician offices, but also public services places that teach more health safety topics to kids. I might have more luck with them acquiring child-friendly health material, because the pediatrician offices/hospitals I've called so far have been dead-ends.

Here are websites I like so far:
