Distribution

For device distributions, we can ask for help from a volunteer communities in Vietnam for doing so. In Vietnam, the volunteer activities are quite popular. There are a lot of groups who frequently travel to rural areas to bring clothes, foods to children with poor living conditions. Those children often have no access to primary education too. SIM cards with internet data are also cheap and very accessible in Vietnam. Data collection might be beneficial from this fact.
