<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Shankurs,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I came back to see this note of surprise from my
usual Mugu trip after getting stranded for about a week in my three week trip
there. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I completely do not understand all this - you two
leaving OLPC! It is a second blow for people like me after the
split of OLE. (At least, you two are still appear together). I am also very
disappointed of Negroponte leaving OLPC and XO machines using Microsoft.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope that things will go to the intended
direction. I have to console that after all, individuals are not indispensable!
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wishing all the best to you two and the OLPC
movement. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> {OLPC Nepal} Thank you
all!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>It's been a great experience working all-time with OLPC Nepal
for about 2 years. We got the Government put OLPC in their yearly plans, raise
much awareness about giving children opportunities for a quality learning
experience with a free and open platform etc. We would like to thank you all
for giving me the opportunity to work with you to do all what we have done,
for every support and encouragements.<BR><BR>With recent developments in OLPC
including change in leadership and organizational structure , which we do not
subscribe to, we have decided to take break from OLPC.<BR><BR>Our goal remains
to create an environment to use free and open platform and the technology for
learning. We hope to continue working with the great team for this
goal.<BR><BR>Shankar and Ankur
