After all of that, my ride fell to Toronto fell through. I am so
sorry I was unable to make it. Hope everything went well. How
long are you in Canada for; I am in Montreal but will be going
to Ottawa briefly next week. I would love to discuss the OLPC
programs in Haiti, and the child rights content they have/ that
we have the potential to use them to express. I am very
interested in working on creating some child rights advocacy and
education programs as well as in applying the XO laptop as an
educational and communications tool. I will be returning to
Haiti at the end of January 2012 and during my time there, will
be in the process of establishing a transitional safe house to
provide therapy, care and integration for child victims of
abuse, neglect, slavery and homelessness. I will also be
strengthening programs in family support, school access and
quality, as well as human rights education. It would be an
incredible opportunity if we could meet and discuss the
potential of XO laptops being incorporated into these programs.<br>
<br>
Just let me know where you are going to be in the next couple
months or when you may be available to talk. We could always try
to meet in Haiti [I'll be there from the end of January until
August 2012] or discuss this on the phone.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much and I hope the BBQ went well. I really wish I
could have made it.<br>
