How to copy a Ubuntu repository on a hard disk?

Question

I am a social worker living deep in rural Liberia/West Africa since 2012. My friends and neighbours - eager to "get busy on computers" - love Ubuntu because of its safety features and easy use. However, our internet is so slow that every update or new software becomes a matter of days instead of minutes. We only have GPRS-connection, and stable only in the morning hours...

Is there a way to copy a whole repository on a harddrive? I am not an expert, more a "good user" -- kindly share your ideas not too technically! Any leads are highly appreciated!

Best, Sebastian.
