We host cd3wd free online and we also - very importantly - make it available for free download and onward dissemination via flash ram, CD, DVD, external hard drive etc..
The International Community and International and local NGO's for some strange reason have zero or even negative interest in cd3wd - maybe they can see the writing on the wall - a dynamic and self-sufficient 3rd world which has democratically and peacefully shaken off its pro-Western and its anti-Western charlatan dictator-presidents will have little or no need for NGO's. This lack of interest and hostility is however regrettable, since their involvement could hasten their own departure.
