<div>Hi Sandeep,</div> <div> </div> <div>I too am based overseas (Sydney, Australia) so I think it is better we need to get someone on the ground in Manila to help both of us in getting DepED sign-off and all the activities we need to do in relation to this initiative.</div> <div> </div> <div>May I request Tim and Rowen to structure the group into the various working groups we do so that everybody already involved as well as those who want to join and help would know who to approach if they want to contribute and be involved. One way to do this is by having coordinators for each of the working group we have i.e. Technical and Product Development, DepED sign-off, Unang Liwanag, etc.</div> <div> </div> <div>I will try to bring into the group people from my alma mater, Don Bosco Technical College through friends I know there. I already mentioned this previously to Rowen when I was asking what we need in
support of our Technical and Product Development initiative. The school offers an Electronics and Communications Engineering course from which we may be able to draw additional volunteers to the group. I will explore with the school officials as well what additional support we can get from them like a laboratory for this purpose. The Collge is based in Mandaluyong opposite the Kalentong Public Market. May I ask who is managing the Technical and Product Development working group as to whether we have an actually laboratory to do this activity. </div> <div> </div> <div>May I ask Tim to share with us an update on developments on Unang Liwanag. I need to know what we have achieved so far so that I may know what I can do to further help in this initiative.</div> <div> </div> <div>In regards to engaging DepED may I ask who are our contacts there? Are we engaging DepED at the level of Secretary Jesli Lapus? I would feel we need to engage the organisation at his
level given the kind of support we need particularly when we need to get both of our objectives in synch. I will try to find out who we can approach to have a direct engagement with Secretary Lapus.</div> <div> </div> <div>We need also a volunteer in our DepED working group who will help us engage local government groups if we need to do a project from a town level basis. I will try to find somebody for this purpose. </div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks.</div> <div> </div> <div>Charles</div><p>
