Hi Patrick,<br><br>Thanks for your e-mail. There are a few ways to get involved in Haiti. You can either apply for the Internship program (see the link below) or suggest your own project. If you'd like to discuss this second option, I'm happy to do so over e-mail or phone, but it's probably best not to use the mailing list (so we don't overrun people's inboxes).<br>

<div><span><font face="Arial">I'm working on several
projects for Haiti, specifically ones benefiting the educational outcomes
of Haitian Children in a small town called Thomassique.
</font></span><span><font face="Arial">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. </font></span></div>

with the OLPC Program? </font></span></div>
