                 for developing nations have received little attention
                 in developed countries, largely because we are
                 naturally interested in first putting our own house in
                 order. This paper is first intended to call attention
                 to the problems of developing nations. It surveys the
                 ways in which developing nations need computing and
                 computer science, and how computer science education
                 can help satisfy these needs. The goals and problems of
                 computer science education are then discussed. One of
                 the gravest problems of a computer science department
                 in a developing nation is isolation-from technology and
                 research, from professional contacts, from advice.
                 Contacts with departments in developed nations will
                 alleviate, if not solve, this problem at little expense
                 to us. This is not a formal ``twinning'', requiring
                 funds which are presently hard to fund, but an informal
                 assistance.",
