[Olpc-open] we need XOs for haitian pilot in ten days

[Timothy Falconer]

Hi,

Waveplace is a non-profit starting an XO pilot in Port-Au-Prince,  
Haiti, in ten days. OLPC was going to be giving us laptops, but it  
fell through, which is why I'm trying to get twenty XOs from elsewhere.

Your laptop may end up in the hands of one of the most needy children  
in the Western Hemisphere.  The school where the laptop will be sent  
is run by Susie Scott Krabacher, who has been the Mother Theresa of  
Haiti for 15 years.  In fact, a major motion picture is being made  
about her life right now, based upon her autobiography:

You could really help by agreeing to sell us your laptop.  We've only  
got ten days to get the laptops to Miami, as we're leaving for Haiti  
on Feb 17th.

To see the kids that will get them, watch this video, which we shot  
last month:

One way or another, we'll be in Haiti in ten days.  Please help us  
bring more laptops.
Please pass the word, and if you have a laptop to sell, click contact  
on the Waveplace site.

Thank you!
