FW: OLPC PowerPoint Presentation to give at UMass Medical School

[Mel Chua]

Matt (and others),

A somewhat disorganized site for presentations (and presentation materials)
can be found here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Presentations - help organizing
it would be awfully appreciated, as would be the creation of "general"
presentation templates that others can use (so far, many of the materials
have been quite location-specific).

Bonus points for using an open format for your slides/materials. ;-)

> Hello OLPC Team,
>
>
>
> We corresponded back in December (see below) and we have now received our
> XOs that we bought through the G1G1 program. We understand that you are
> unable to spare staff present here at UMass and so we are going to do the
> presentation ourselves.
>
>
>
> We are wondering if you have:
>
>
>
> a)    A PowerPoint presentation on OLPC, what it is, what it does, etc.
>
> b)    A poster with information about OLPC that we can post alongside the
> XO's when we display them at our school
>
> c)    Any other promotional/informational material that we could use for
> this endeavor
>
>
>
> Thank you for any help you can offer. If you would prefer to call, try my

> Dear Bartek,
>
> We regret we simply cannot spare personnel to demo the laptop, unless you
> have heard otherwise from press at racepointgroup.com.  If so, please
> continue your correspondence with them.
>
> Thank you very much for your interest in One Laptop per Child and your very
> kind thoughts of fundraising!  We truly appreciate it.  Please note,
> however, that we are entirely concentrated on launching the laptop, and
> therefore, we have no personnel to monitor, assist or collaborate in such
> endeavors.  Please understand we are an extremely small team working on a
> huge global project.
>
> We certainly thank you for the idea and people (in the US and Canada) are
> welcome to participate in the "Give One Get One" initiative, from November
> 12-26th, 2007 by going by to *www.laptopgiving.org*   You are free to do
> what you would like with the laptop you receive, the one that is being
> donated by us cannot be designated.  It will go to one of the poorest
> countries in the world according to UN statistics.  We cannot say what
> country with certainty right now, we will be deciding at a later time.
>
> You may also be interested in the Give Many program, where you can
> designate the recipients of the laptops if you buy at least 100.  Please
> see:
>
> *www.laptopfoundation.org/en/participate/givemany.shtml*

> Alternately, check(s) for simple donations, NOT related to G1G1, can be
> sent to:
>
> One Laptop per Child Foundation
> PO Box 425087
> Cambridge, MA  02142
>
> Or it is possible to give directly through the link here on our website,
> NOT G1G1 related:
>
> *http://laptopfoundation.org/en/participate/*
>
> If the idea you have proposed raises funds for us, we are very grateful, we
> simply cannot "endorse", "make official" or loan our logo to any such
> efforts.  Nor do we have any printed material we can send you, all
> information we have is online.
>
> We do not know if the Give One Get One will be extended, keep your eyes on
> the website.
>
> We sincerely thank you very much,

> Dear OLPC,
>
> I am a first year student at Umass Medical School and just recently found
> out about the Give One, Get One Program. Along with a fellow medical
> student, Abraham Jaffe, I am hoping to arrange for the Umass community to
> support the donation of several laptops to developing countries, display the
> XO laptops that arrive here in the medical school lobby—a high traffic area
> that sees up to 1,000 people per day—and then donate those computer which
> were on display to a local charity for it to use for educational purposes.
>
> I am wondering if a staff member would be able to come to the medical
> school (we are located in Worcester, MA about a 1 hour drive from Boston) to
> give a presentation on the XO and on the OLPC mission as a whole to drum up
> support for the donation program. Could we arrange for such a presentation
> soon? In addition, in light of our efforts to raise money, is there a way we
> could extend the deadline of November 26 for the Give One, Get One program?
>
> I look forward to hearing from you.
>
> Sincerely,
>
