Will is heading for Burma at the end of the month ...
*
Dear Will,
Thanks.
Here's the Burma World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Burma_(Republic_of_the_Union_of_Myanmar) - without any MIT OCW courses yet in the official language of Burmese and without the Burmese languages' WUaS schools/first pages started yet (Wikipedia is in 287 languages and MIT OCW is in at least 8 languages).
WUaS is planning that each country become its own accrediting MIT OCW-centric university (for bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. as as well as IB high school degrees in UN languages to begin), if possible, and usually in the main language of the country, as well as every language in a country becoming its own wiki school. Burma has around 100 languages I just read. If you happen to meet people in the Ministry of Education or other academics or lawyers there, please let them know of this possibility.
I think WUaS will do better in applying to foundations with specific introductions, if at all possible ... and I'll look through further the 4 foundation suggestions you sent. Thank you.
Have a great trip.
Best wishes,
Scott

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Complementary_and_Alternative_Medicine.
And here's the beginning online Medical School at WUaS, only in English

but planned for large languages.
Here too is the Poland World University and School -

WUaS is planning that each country become its own accrediting MIT OCW-centric university (for bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. as as well as IB high school degrees in UN languages to begin), if possible, and usually in the main language of the country -
