We now have #RhodeIsland showing up on the #Boston #Meshcore network as of today!

I was able to send a message, with delivery notifications, from #CambridgeMA all the way to the southernmost dot on the map in RI.

Will you please help a good school stay good?

My son is going to the Croft School in #Providence, #RhodeIsland. It has good teachers, good students, good curriculum, and, miraculously, no bullying.

But a couple of weeks ago, it suddenly came to light that it has severe administration problems, and it ran out of money. It may have to shut down for good in a few days without urgent funding.

People are starting to donate, but much more is needed. Thank you!
