There you will find people who want to make software , usually for no cost, and not only that but will want to produce software in many languages, even Bangla. If you speak to the folks at Sugar Labs, they might have more software that you can use or make to fit your purpose, as that's the nature of Free Software.</span><br><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt;">Please visit Sugarlabs.org for more info.</span><div><font face="arial" size="2">There might be other OLPC pilot project that are making software suited for local education standards that might be useful. The OLPC wiki at wiki.laptop.org or olpcmaps.net might show.</font></div><div><font face="arial"

If you work with Sugar Labs to make software, then you can use more of your funds to buy computers.</span></div><div><font face="arial" size="2"><br></font><div>-Kevin, Olpc volunteer support-gang member</div></div></td></tr></table>
