<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In OLPC laptop deployments across the globe, the same
problem seems to reoccur - after some time, the child looses interest, and the XO
laptop is stored away to collect dust. <span style=""></span><span style=""></span>This is one challenge that we need to
address as we deploy the OLPC project in the Philippines. At
eKindling, we understand that simply giving a child a laptop is not enough. We
need to ensure that children use the XO laptop for its maximum educational potential.
<span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the past months, eKindling has spent a great deal of time
discussing the challenges we face in deploying a pilot program and growing our
organization. <span style=""></span>So, we REALLY need your help! Over the next few weeks, we will begin to ask for help from the
community in tackling the immediate challenges we face, which includes growing
our capacity, crafting our educational approach, fundraising, developing our
communication tools, etc. <span style=""> </span>Simply put… GET INVOLVED!!!</p><p class="MsoNormal">While we have achieved so much over the past few
months, with your help, I am sure we will accomplish even more. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to working with you in bringing One Laptop
Per Child to the Philippines,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
