[Michele Notari]

Dear tom
I read your post on the  grassroots mailing list. I am the initiator of olpc -ch (switzerland). We plan to start pilots in our country  in parnership with children in a foreign country. At the moment we are about to set up an educational concept and we would be very interested in the courseware you are using.. You said that you will have a ten week course 3 hours a week to introduce the xo. Could you send us the concept you adopt or mail th course or...

Thanks for your information
Regards

Hi everyone,

We've posted a new video from our Haiti pilot, showing the day we  
gave the children their laptops:

We've also posted photos of each of the children with their new  
laptops.  Thanks again to the kind people who donated their XOs:

In other news, we're starting from scratch with our Squeaky Tales  
courseware with what we've learned from our St John pilot so far.   A  
new series of thirty videos featuring Etoys will be made, along with  
our new textbook.   The Haitian pilot will be the first to use the  
new courseware, teaching three hours each week for ten weeks.  It's  
scheduled to end before June 1st.  Hopefully the full courseware will  
be done by July 1st.

If you have enjoyed our tutorials or movies, and believe in what  
we're doing, please consider donating on our website.  We're running  
near the end of our budget and will likely have to cut corners on our  
upcoming full-length documentary and courseware.  Both will be made  
freely available to the world, so helping us now helps everyone  
later, not just Caribbean children.  Every little bit helps.  To see  
a sample of our old courseware, click "tutorials".

If you can't give money, click "contact" and say hello anyway!

Thanks,
Timothy
