Technology • Cell phones are readily accessible. • Computers are accessible BUT internet is censored. • TV is heavily censored. • Technology is very up to speed but the censorship would be a huge obstacle. • Literacy Rate =74.3% http://www.tunisiaonlinenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Logo+Pierre+Final-300x268.png
Building Goodwill • Start before we enter the country • Letters to the Tunisian government • Seek government support • Respecting censorship rules • Press releases http://4gwar.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/crayola.jpg
