+<h2>Ambedkar Community Computing Center (AC3)</h2>
+
+<p>The following information was submitted to us by the group of volunteers 
+working at the Center.</p>
+
+<div class="edu-cases">
+
+<h3>Location</h3>
+
+<p>The Center is located in the Sudharshan Layout off Bannerghatta Road
+in Bangalore, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnataka#Education";>
+State of Karnataka</a>, India.</p>
+
+<h3>About</h3>
+
+<p>The <a href="http://slumdweller.wikispaces.com/Community+Computing+Center";>
+Ambedkar Community Computing Center</a> is not a private or public 
+educational institution, it is a computing education center run by 
+youths from a local group called Ambedkar Sanga that works in the slums 
+of the area.</p>
+
+<p>The Center was founded in 2007 in an effort to bring the world of 
+computers close to underprivileged children and youths who otherwise 
+would have little opportunity to get in contact with this technology.</p>
+
+<p>The group consists of around 15 children and young boys and girls 
+from 13 to 23 years old. They attend classes 3 times a week for 2 hours 
+each session.</p> 
+
+<h3>Motivation</h3>
+
+<p>The area in which this Center is located lacks even the most basic 
+living conditions. We feel that the kids from this place should get a 
+good thirst for Freedom while learning computing too, and Free Software 
+serves this purpose. Free Software is a way to talk about Freedom.</p>
+
+<h3>How We Did It</h3>
+
+<a href="/education/misc/ambedkar.jpg">
+<img class="ambedkar" src="/education/misc/ambedkar-sm.jpg" alt="Image
+of a student handing a copy of the essay 'The Future is Ours' to
+Richard Stallman." /></a>
+
+<p>No migration process was involved. We are Free Software advocates so 
+we started directly by installing Free Software in all computers in use; 
+therefore, we haven't  faced any particular difficulties in setting up 
+the systems. Our main difficulty regards the lack of hardware. We use 
+only laptops, and we need as many as we can get. We rely on donations 
+for our work.</p>
+
+<h3>Commitment to Free Software</h3>
+
+<p>We have five work stations, all of which are laptops and all of them 
+run fully free operating systems.</p>
+
+<p>All of the programs we use are Free Libre software. For example, we 
+use <a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/";>LibreOffice</a> for 
+spreadsheets and for general document writing, and 
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/GIMP";>GIMP</a> for graphics.</p>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<p>Browsing the web using Free Software helps these young boys and girls 
+to have access to the external world in safety and confidence. Free 
+Libre graphic programs such as GIMP allow them to express their 
+creativity freely and easily.</p>
+
+<p><a href="/education/edu-software-gimp.html#Mani">One of the 
+underprivileged kids</a> who attends classes at the Center has achieved 
+a high level of skill in the use of GIMP. His works have been presented 
+and sold at a local Free Software conference. The picture on the right 
+shows him handing in to Richard Stallman a copy of an essay titled 
+&ldquo;The Future is Ours&rdquo;, which was produced at the Center.</p>
+
+<p>Some of the kids who attend our classes also take computing courses 
+at school. They report that the skills they learn at the Center are of 
+invaluable help for them to follow and pass those courses 
+successfully.</p>

+<p>We are informed that the outstanding effort of Free Software 
+volunteers is expanding in these deprived areas of the city, with
+remarkable results. If you would like to contribute or donate laptops to
+this group, please contact us at
