Matt (and others),<br><br>A somewhat disorganized site for presentations (and presentation materials) can be found here: <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Presentations">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Presentations</a> - 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).<br>

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

  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

<font face="Arial" size="4"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial;">I am a

 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.</span></font> <br>

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? </span></font><br>
