Hello Anna<div><br></div><div>If you are in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch then you can meet up with other volunteers in those cities and see what is currently happening and go from there. </div><div><br></div><div>There are quite a number of Oceanic deployments that could do with some assistance that might suit your skill set. Samoa have asked for lesson plans. Kosrae are just starting their 800 XO deployment. There are lots of resources but it is a matter of finding them and collating them, and in some cases localising them. Then there are also areas where there are no teacher or student resources. Having knowledge of the NZ curriculum means you can be a great asset to Oceanic countries that use our curriculum entirely or as a model for their own. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Auckland meet every Saturday at 11am at the Windsor, 144 Parnell Rise, Parnell. </div><meta charset="utf-8"><div>Christchurch are likely a bit distracted with the earthquake. </div><div>Wellington meet at the Cross, 35 Abel Smith St, usually on Saturdays at 11am as well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some of our volunteers are helping with the earthquake response, so keep in touch with us on this olpc-nz mailing list to check in case which ever city are not meeting this weekend.</div><div><br></div>
