[Internships] OLPC for Haiti - Thomassique

[McCormick, Patrick]

Hello,

I'm working on several projects for Haiti, specifically ones benefiting the educational outcomes of Haitian Children in a small town called Thomassique.   The need is so great but the resources are so few.  There is no electricity; most of the schools work without instructional resources; most of the instruction consists of about 40 kids sitting on benches with a 10" bench table in front of them listening to the teacher and watching him/her write on a free-standing blackboard.  Only the richest schools have textbooks and few kids have paper to take notes.

How can I get involved with the OLPC Program?

Thank you,
Patrick
