Welcome to eKindling! I'm so glad that we'll soon have another Californian on our team. I'm copying Kevin Asuncion on this email as he is an LA resident (I'm in NorCal). Hope to meet you in person after you're all settled in Cali. Thinking we can also do an event with the OLPC-SF volunteers if you and Kevin get the chance to be out here. </p>

name is Vincent Zabala and I am currently living in Oahu, Hawaii. I've been
teaching math for 4 years at Waianae High School (part of the Teach for America
program). I'll be moving to Los Angeles, California in July and hope to attend
law school next year.<span> </span>As a
Filipino-American, I’ve also had a renewed interest in learning more about the
history and culture of the Philippines.<span> </span></span></p>

passion in life is to help others and contribute to the greater good of society
in some way.<span> </span>I’ve always believed
that education is at the heart of influencing positive change. I’m excited
about the opportunity to volunteer with eKindling because of the prospects of
helping those underserved children and exposing them to technology in this global
society.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;font-family:ComicSansMS">It
would be my pleasure to contribute and help support eKindling’s mission.<span> </span>I would be interested in volunteering
to go to Lubang and help integrate the technology into their curriculum.<span> </span>Also, it would be exciting to work with
developers to organize content into learning games/activities. <span> </span>On the business side, I’m open to
working with fundraising efforts.<span>
</span>I’m pretty flexible in working on other projects or initiatives as well.
