[Olpc-open] Pakistan's pilot project

[Bryan Berry]

Salman, I am very curious about the Pakistan pilot.

Who has organized the pilot in Pakistan? Is it done through the Ministry
of Education, a local NGO, or by OLPC Boston? Who is funding it and who
is managing it?

Was there any teacher training involved? Do you have a plan to evaluate
the effectiveness of your work?
