[OLPC-Jamaica] at UWI for two weeks

[Maurice McNaughton]

OLPC advocates..
We have two great Pilot projects starting this September at August Town
primary and Providence Basic, being funded primarily through the generosity
of P.A.C.E. Canada. We hope to maximize the 2 weeks that Sameer is here to
get these Projects off the ground..

In addition to the XO technology stuff,  we're hoping to mobilize some
important collateral initiatives relating to:
- Content (Sameer has already shared some of the inetresting developments
around the Pathagar Book Server project)
- Teacher training (We're seeking to actively engage both the Early
Childhood Commission and Moneague Teacher's Training College in the
projects)

While these projects are being managed through the UWI community, we welcome
involvement from all available OLPC interests on this list... I've attached
the scope document for one of the projects to provide some additional
context..

We'll broadcast a Calendar of activities early next week..

Rgds,
Mlm
