[Bruce Baikie]

The IIT student team working on Solar Powering the OLPC XO's in Haiti 
schools have created a great video. I just wanted to share it with you.  
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

> 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.
