[Rwanda-learningteam] Synergy between OLPC and HOPE: Rwanda

[David Cavallo]

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for getting in touch. We would very much look forward to 
meeting you when you are here. We also believe in developing meaningful 
synergies.

Please let us know your availability and we would welcome a meeting with 
the team. Perhaps we should aim to meet on the week of July 5 (but not 
Monday).

Best wishes,
David
