Hi Jon

I am on the mailing list for OLPC and received your letter below. I have just last week arrived to live in Boracay and I intend staying here for the foreseeable future (5 years?). 
Back in Australia I ran the Church of All Nations community Support Agency in Carlton Victoria, which included a computer recycling project supplying ex government machines ( 1500 of them) to recently arrived refugee communities. Plus training and technical support. Also I ran a Family Learning Program for Horn of African refugees.

I am not a specialist IT person but have good management skills and recognise the importance of Providing access to the digital world for low income people, especially kids.

Is there anything I can do in Boracay to help with your project? are there any proposals for this area?

I have previously had discussions with the local Rotary here and have some links to local schools. I am hoping to start a homework club here using tourists as volunteer tutors

please keep me in touch

regards

Stephen Dobson
