[OLPC-SF] Haiti Solar power charging XO project - funding needed

[Bruce Baikie]

Hello fellow OLPC'er

Schools in Lascahobas, Haiti received XO laptops in 2009, when they had 
electric grid power. Unfortunately, the grid hasn't been functional 
since the devastating earthquake of Jan. 2010, and these schools and 
over 1,000 children with XO laptops, have had no means to charge them 
for over a year now.

A team of students from Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and I 
worked on a nice solar design and want to install their design to charge 
these XOs.  But this take funding and the IIT students have placed their 
project on Global Giving.  I would like to challege you to donate at 
least $10 to the project.

I just donated and you can do the same at:

Thank you and best regards
