Online youth engagement in Sierra Leone

The connection of youth to ICT tools like computers and the Internet, in countries like Sierra Leone, is still quite is still pretty rare. Still, this project and its teams are trying to find solutions, bring the proper knowledge and skills etc...as a solution to the problem. For all of you who ARE already online and member of this project page, it is truly up to you to get other people online and make them active members of this page but also, for youth to WANT to go to the internet cafe, spend time and money on the page, they NEED to be interested and know why they should do so. Again, that is up to you, each one of you. Helping them join and use the plateforme is a good 1st step, but then, most important after that, it is to keep this page busy, active, with loads of new stuff to look at, opportunities, events, local organizations etc etc....but this wont happen unless YOU make it happen.
Just an example:
About 4 months ago, i posted a discussion link, 31 people looked at it and still no replies. If you are not inspired by what is there, just post up your own  )
So, what do you think? what can be done for this project page to be THE point of communication for anyone involved in this project, and also, for local youth to access opportunities and connect with others all over the world?
