> As always, our goal is to point you to the most useful
> online resources and announcements we have found in the
> last couple of weeks:
>
> 1. From now until March 31, 1999, the telecommunications
> company LM Ericsson is accepting applications for its ERICA
> Internet Community Awards, which will give a total of
> $250,000 in Web development expenses to non-profit
> organizations around the world. ERICA seeks "new and
> creative ideas for technology applications that take
> advantage of the community-building power of the Internet."
> The program is open to all charitable non-profit
> organizations. For more information, and to submit entries
> online, go to http://www.ericsson.com/erica

> 2. At http://clausius.energ.polimi.it/development the
> Cooperating for Cooperation Project in Italy is compiling a
> Global Directory of Development Organizations and Programs,
> with listings by organization name, nationality, country of
> activity and field of interest in over 160 countries.
> Useful for connecting with development organizations
> working in your area.
>
> 3. At http://www.thegrantdoctors.com/states.htm a

> teach them) about the Internet. The site includes sections
> on Web Publishing, Email, Newsgroups, Conferencing and
> Research, as well as a good Glossary and FAQ file. One
