[olpc-nz] Thanks to the Wellington Team

[Rebecca Ray]

This is awesome - hope everything goes well!
I would love to come out and help but my budget wouldn't allow for the
travel at present - I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have the opportunity
to help with a rollout sometime in the future, though - sounds like a great
experience.
Keep us updated!
