[OLPC India] India Digest, Vol 22, Issue 19

[Satish Jha]

I am overwhelmed by the kind of support this project is receiving from
everyone.. from individuals to institutions and corporations and
governments.. they have all been trying to do their best..

My corporate relations adviser informs me that an airline has agreed to give
a number of free tickets for the staff, a business house is willing to offer
office space and support for all the schools it runs and the children they
have run up in six figures and so on..

However, our goal is to reach out to those who cannot help themselves.. And
our efforts are focused primarily in that direction.

While individual initiatives greatly contribute to the cause, aggregating
them in an organized way may get a lot more out of them.

We should also keep in mind that our production batch size is 50,000 at one
time and unless we can scale up, the program will have different kind of
management challenges.

In this listserv, if we can focus on how to aggregate to large numbers, it
will be a great help indeed.

Thanks much
