> 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.

> 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!
