<DIV>Hi Heather,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I’m the president of Laptops to Lesotho Inc.. L2L isn’t an official
OLPC project, but we use their XO laptops and have a similar philosophy.
If you’re interested in working with a project in Lesotho, I’d love to discuss
ways you could help. You can email me at
janissa<at>silverstar.com. I’m based in the U.S., but if you’d like
to talk to someone closer to home, I can put you in touch with an L2L volunteer
in Grahamstown, SA, and/or our project leader in Lesotho. You can see more
about our project at www<dot>laptopstolesotho<dot>.org. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The only active OLPC projects I know about in SA are the Kliptown Youth
Project and a school in northern KZN. Email me and I’ll send you their
contact info, if they don’t post here themselves.</DIV>

there,<BR><BR>I've been reading about the olpc project and think it is an
