Williams Memo 21 Interview Questions

I am having trouble getting to some of my emerging narrative about the use of ICTs as a tool of organization by NGOs. Actually, I am having trouble getting to any of my questions for the entity called "NGO" as there is no way to 'interview' such an entity -- just the people inside of it. I suppose, using discourse analysis, I can reconstruct the identity of the 'NGO' in question (Himalayan Cataract Project among others) but my confusion/complaint is that I have not really addressed it through these questions !?! Actually, I think these questions are not really good for interviewing -- but they are more of a baseline where I can start to imagine interview questions. __**Appropriate Technology**__ || __**Innovation**__ || //What is considered to be appropriate technology for fighting preventable blindness?// || ## The causes of bi-lateral cataract are unknown.
