I just did a follow up site visit with an OLPC deployed school in
the north of Senegal in M'Boro. This as an <a
href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPCorps_Africa">OLPC Africa Corp</a>
deployment. Two years I was there when the project started and it
was good to see it in person two years later.<br>
<br>
The biggest issue is the failure of the screens, then power cord,
and third keyboards. Of the 170 XO's, 67 have screen issues.<br>

I am arranging for support from a person from TechSoup who will be
living in Dakar for one year to provide the support for this
project.<br>
<br>
So where I need help is:<br>
1. This TechSoup person needs training on the maintenance of
OLPC XO's before he leaves this summer for Dakar.<br>
2. Can you recommend a HW person who can spend time with him?<br>
3. Can our group help some how with these issues or replacement
parts?<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Bruce<br>
