I can understand that localization in Haiti has stalled since the
earthquake, since most schools that had XOs now have no electricity to
charge them. Illinois Institute of Technology is trying to remedy that
with the design for rooftop solar power systems for Haitian schools, but
they need funding. Anybody have contacts in UNICEF, UNDP, or elsewhere
whom we can talk to?
