We can start both.
People who can not download the DVD media because of unavailability of 
good Internet connection will benefit from the free DVD program.

And the people who can still download it and are using it, and want to 
others to take  notice of there systems running Hamara will benefit from 
Free stickers campaign.

Work needs to be done for free DVD campaign
1. Having printed DVDs of Hamara with nice art work on it enclosed in a 
DVD cover with good artwork as well.
2. Make a landing page on the main website where people can fill a form 
and request for the DVD.
3. Figuring out the details on how we will ship the DVDs to users.
4. We can also prepare a printed manual for Hamara in English and in 
local languages which we can distribute along with the DVD.


For the free stickers campaign
1. Design Nice artwork for Laptop stickers, logos, small stickers for 
desktops etc.
2. Print them on good Quality sticker sheets.
3. Make a landing page on the main website where people can fill a form 
and request for the Stickers
4. Figuring out the details on how we will ship the stickers to users.
