I am copying my reply to the It's An Education Project and OLPC-SUR<br>
mailing lists of Sugar Labs. I recommend that your staff and members<br>
take a look at the archives of these lists, and consider whether to<br>
join them.<br>

OLPC provides XO laptops running Sugar education software through<br>
governments and NGOs. It commonly happens that people in a particular<br>
country get together over the Internet to work on such projects. In<br>
your case, this is<br>
<br>

<br>
Sugar Labs has just begun a project to produce learning materials for<br>
free distribution. If you tell us your requirements, and introduce us<br>
to your trainers, we can work together using our Replacing Textbooks<br>
server.<br>

<br>
I am of the opinion that creating businesses through microfinance and<br>
other methods is a critical factor for the success of the OLPC<br>
education project's mission to end poverty. I would be delighted to<br>
discuss this with your partners.<br>
<br>
> We would be interested to find out how we might work with you.<br>
<br>
There are several possibilities.<br>
<br>
Obviously, OLPC is most interested in getting XO laptops with Sugar<br>
software into schools. Can you tell us how many schools you have in<br>
and near Leon, with how many teachers and students? We can then<br>
discuss what it would cost for such a program, including XOs,<br>
electricity, Internet connections, school servers, training, and so<br>
on, and consider how to raise the funds needed.<br>
<br>
If any of your schools have any computers, we can show you how to get<br>
Sugar software running on them, and discuss how you could use it.<br>
<br>
We are in need of help to translate software and other materials into<br>
Spanish, and to translate Spanish-language teacher training materials<br>
into English.<br>
<br>
Do you have any contacts within the Nicaraguan Ministry of Education?<br>
<br>
What is the political climate around education?<br>
<br>
How is the economy doing?<br>
<br>
How do you choose communities to work in?<br>
<br>
How are your relations with local leaders?<br>
<br>
I will have many more questions after you answer those. ^_^<br>
