[OLPC-Philippines] Moodle, XS and capacity building...

[Cherry Withers]

Awesome! Thank you so much Rommel! We will have to have a meeting to get
this ironed out. I will however be MIA this week as I will be helping out at
Squeakland for a booksprint. Will be back in eKindling mode by Monday next
week.

Have a great week everyone!

Cheers,
---Cherry
