This is awesome - hope everything goes well!<br>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.<br>

<br>We are looking for someone to volunteer to help in the rollout , possibly for 2 weeks.<br>Required skills are ideally in using the XO in a classroom, but general understanding of how the XO and activities work is sufficient.<br>
<br>Unfortunately, we have limited budget, but we may be able to provide some help in expenses.<br><br>Anyone interested in a "holiday" on a wonderful tropical island?<br><br>Ian<div><div></div><div class="h5">
