[OLPC-AU] Great fundraising idea with Telstra

[Sridhar Dhanapalan]

Hi Charles,

We have a talented Communications and Marketing team, who have come up
with this in collaboration with our partner organisations. I wish it
was my idea but that's not my area in OLPC AU :)

Feel free to take ideas from us if you feel it'll help your efforts in PH.

Cheers,
Sridhar
