 If you would like to donate Routers and other requirements for this initiative, it will be very useful.
+===== What? =====
+A Local Network will be initiated by FSFTN at variou localities through our contacts primarily in Schools, Libraries, Community Centres, etc. This network will be setup using Raspberry Pi, Routers, Data in HDD. It will be owned by the Community where we will be deploying. The Community will participate in managing the netowrk, add contents, customize, etc. Hence, we call it as **Wireless Community Networks**. People can join the network through their devices and use the contents available in the Network.
+===== Where? =====
+The Community Network Initiative arises out of necessity after discussing with various communities and locality associations in Chennai primarily in OMR where FSFTN participated in a Book Fair in June, 2019. Till now, the plan is to deploy the networks in,
+  - Community Learning Centres in OMR
+  - Government Schools
+  - Apartments in Sai Nagar, OMR
+Out of the experience gathered from the above areas, we are planning to expand it across.
+===== How? =====
+With the amount of technical expertise gathered and exhibited during the POC at OMR Book Fair, the plan is simple and straightforward. Gather contents in a HDD, serve it through Raspberry Pi and establish a network with Router. People can connect to the network, use the contents, read books and add services on top of it.
+===== Why? =====
+Through Community Network we aim to bring upon participation and ownership from the Community. We conduct regular activities, learnings, access to Creative Commons contents primarily relating to education, E-Books both in Tamil and English. These networks act as an introductory platform between FSFTN and Localities. Through this People's Network we can take forward a Social, Cultural change driven by Collectivism and move on a path to Knowledge Freedom. Its kinda be a slow process but a possible future 8-)
