<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Dear Holden,<BR>Thank you for your
mail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Your experience has definitely helped in quite a
few things, the most important one being: try and avoid fitting into
curriculum at the pilot stage. the details about the deployment are all very
helpful and help us to avoid pitfalls like the need to prevent children tripping
over the power cord.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Thanks for adding the link.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Do you know any one who can advise me on how to
find out about Get1Give1?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Dear Holden,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Wow, that is a great write-up! Thank
you for doing the work, capturing it in such a well written document and
sharing it. Can you please put a link on the OLPC India wiki
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>BTW, I have some friend in USA/Canada. Can I
ask them to order under Buy 1 Give 1 Program and ask the lap-tops (the given
ones) to be shipped to India ? Or this is mot feasible as India is not
'officially' supporting OLPC?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Dear India Deployment Coordinators, I
suggest we use the pdf of Holden as a good benchmark for documenting
the deployments. It would greatly help others to follow you</FONT></DIV>
