Hi everyone!

As some of you may know we are working on a project to provide donated
computers and bootable USB sticks with Ubunutu plus a educational
software to the Clarendon Hill Apartments (CHA), a public housing
project in Somerville.

The computer center at CHA is run by the Haitian Coalition, a
nonprofit entity. The computers and this project will benefit people
of all nationalities living in the project. We hope it will also train
members of the local Haitian community who wish to goto refugee camps
and set up computer labs.

On Weds we give our first class to the Haitian Coalition volunteers, a
tech savvy group of Haitians who will be supporting computer access at
CHA and in Haiti.

On Tuesday I want to do a dry run of the first class and test!   We
will meet at Sprout at 4pm and another group has the space at 7pm.

If you would like to help test and develop the curriculum, bring a
laptop and an empty 4GB USB stick.

The class curriculum:

We will be needing more help in the months to come, so if you can't
make this or this part isn't your cup of tea please keep us in mind.

Thanks!
Caroline
