[OLPC-NYC] HAITI EDUTECH Community Dinner: Tue Jan 25, 5pm @ OLPC HQ in Cambridge, Mass

[Holt]

Last week's workshop (olpcMAP Sprint) proved the unstoppable *force* of 
passion behind grassroots deployments globally, just like those we will 
be discussing in Haiti, with almost 500 projects/volunteers now vividly 
emerging here:

Marina's blog is just 1 of 4+ summarizing the incredible 
volunteering-is-NOT-a-spectator-sport work ongoing here:

Best of all, Boston's http://Haitian-Coalition.org will join us for our 
upcoming OLPC_Boston monthly community meeting to discuss very 
intriguing next-gen EduTech plans (OLPC, Sugar, http://open1to1.org etc) 
emerging in Somerville Massachusetts, Haiti itself, and committed 
Haitian diasporas far beyond:

     Tue Jan 25, 5PM
     One Laptop per Child
     1 Cambridge Center
     Kendall Sq/MIT Red Line subway stop

We all hope to see you there -- it's very clear there will be Tons to 
discuss (9+ tangentially related trips to Haiti in Feb!) after a 
wonderfully spontaneous dinner earlier tonight -- among some very 
connected AND deeply dedicated Haitians in town here!

Thanks for joining us in 3 weeks to take this next step -- 1 humble 
country at a time ;)
