==Annoucement==

December 8, 2007

Dear friends,

There is an urgent need for community help! Friends there is a Project grant competition named Panibagong Paraan 2008 – (http://www.panibagongparaan.com). We need a better writer to write the proposal letter for our entry. We really need your help. If you are a good writer for formal/proposal letter please download the concept paper format (http://www.panibagongparaan.com/ConceptPaperFormat.doc) then after making your draft email it to us (timhack007 *at* gmail.com). If you need more information for making the proposal letter, just email me and we will provide the information. We need to finish the proposal letter before December 22, 2007. After having the first draft I will make it available to everyone so everyone can read and correct it before we send it as our entry. Thanks.

Tim

==== Update ====
Panibagong Paraan 2008's deadline was extended but, we were still unable get the proposal written and submitted anyway (All of the teachers and the Governor's office were very busy here in Aklan with Xmas and then Kalibo's 796th Ati-Atihan festival), the Provincial Governor's office is willing to provide some funding ''amount to be determined'' for [[OLPC_Philippines_Unang_Liwanag|Kalibo Elementary School II]], Also I have also started setting of the school server and have started some discussion with a Local ISP/cable TV for donating internet access (for their own publicity purposes).<br>
And there are other matching grant avenues available here in the Philippines provided that we have a clear and well documented plan!

=== Project: [[OLPC Philippines Unang Liwanag|Unang Liwanag]] (''First Light'') (Pilot) 2008 ===

This project is the "Pilot Launch" project for OLPC Philippines.

This project will be the start of the Pilot Distribution, orders will start from 250 XO machines upto a 100,000 order and then to 250,000.

This project will take orders of school upon approval of OLPC and recognition of government to OLPCPH. As noted the price of XO machine will be almost the same. OLPCPH will be the single point of contact and should be the one to have developer key and activation will be done in OLPCPH office. We won't tolerate any black market to occur.

Estimated deployment time is 6 months to years, starting from approval of government and deployment of OLPC team.

OLPCPH is under negotiation with the Philippine government and work is in progress.

; Needed : 4 developer XO machines for Localization development
: 20 XO machines for pilot school

'''Welcome to OLPC Philippines'''
== Reports ==
This page is intended for technical audience and the development team.
[[OLPC_Philippines:Report]]


==Department of Education==
This would be the section for Sandeep and Charles in working with the government on DepEd status about OLPC project.


OLPC Philippines ('''OLPC PH''') is a grassroots coalition of forward-looking and like-minded individuals living in the Philippines and abroad who are working to bring the ideals of OLPC to Filipino children.
At this point, we have a three-pronged strategy to get DepED sign-off:


Please join and share your ideas - people who are eager and willing to jump in are very, very welcome.
1) Pilot projects being sponsored by various groups such as the Unang
Liwanag project. Demonstrating the success of the laptop in the target
environment is key in getting further traction. We need to show people that
this works in the Philippines! Otherwise, we'll continue to be in a
conceptual state.


To join the group's mailing list, subscribe to [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-philippines olpc-philippines] and participate in the discussions.
We need people who are interested to be involved in starting an Unang Liwanag project.


Please note for those wanting to participate in discussions for the CHILD OLPC Foundation Philippines (formerly PCOLPC) are requested to go to their webpage [[PCOLPC|COFP]] for this purpose.
2) Coordinating with DepEd to ensure that the project's objectives are
aligned with their objectives. For example, if the DepEd wants one computer
for one classroom, this contradicts with the OLPC's principle of ownership.
There needs to be some re-alignment for both to be in sync.


To keep abreast of the latest developments on the OLPC program in the Philippines, please regularly check this page and linked pages.
OLPCPH can help in the deployment of DepEd sponsored pilot and eventual
roll-out plan. I think this is where you can provide ground coverage while I
(and probably Mel) can provide Boston-based support.


'''Last Update:''' {{REVISIONDAY}}/{{REVISIONMONTH}}/{{REVISIONYEAR}} by:{{REVISIONUSER}}
We need people who are interested to be involved in engaging DepED in our activities.


== Groups ==
3) Work with local governments units for project deployment within their
respective areas. The minimum order quantity has gone down dramatically so
deployment in one town is now feasible.


* [[eKindling|eKindling]]
We need people who are interested to be involved in engaging local governments units to start a deployment program in their areas.
EKindling Incorporated was registered at the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit corporation on May 21, 2010. eKindling continues to collaborate closely with local government units and corporate and individual benefactors on several OLPC deployments. Recently, EKindling was engaged by Procter and Gamble (P&G) as ICT for Education Program Design Provider via P&G's e.Studyante program [http://depedmanila. blogspot.com/2012/03/estudyante-program-2012.html]. These collaborative efforts have inspired similar OLPC initiatives nationwide.


* [[PCOLPC|COFP]]
For anyone interested to contribute and be involved please feel free to contact Charles Chen using the OLPC mail list email address. You will have to join as a member volunteer (as all of us) to be able to do this.
Formerly the Philippine Collaborators for OLPC (PCOLPC), the group have merged with the CHILD (Children Helping in Information and Learning & Development) OLPC Foundation Philippines (COFP). COFP was registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit corporation on August 17, 2009. A key partner of COFP is Stimulus Capital Ideas, a cross border investment group headed by Charles Chen which specialises on Australian investments to the Philippines. A recent project is the partnership with the Kiwanis Club International in a pilot with three public schools in the Antipolo, Rizal province. Current efforts are being made to establish similar projects in other part of the country as well as in other member countries of ASEAN.

For 2012, another pilot has been organised by the CHILD OLPC Foundation Philippines (formerly PCOLPC) in Antipolo, Rizal province in partnership with the Kiwanis Club.

Groups

EKindling Incorporated was registered at the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit corporation on May 21, 2010. eKindling continues to collaborate closely with local government units and corporate and individual benefactors on several OLPC deployments. Recently, EKindling was engaged by Procter and Gamble (P&G) as ICT for Education Program Design Provider via P&G's e.Studyante program blogspot.com/2012/03/estudyante-program-2012.html. These collaborative efforts have inspired similar OLPC initiatives nationwide.

Formerly the Philippine Collaborators for OLPC (PCOLPC), the group have merged with the CHILD (Children Helping in Information and Learning & Development) OLPC Foundation Philippines (COFP). COFP was registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit corporation on August 17, 2009. A key partner of COFP is Stimulus Capital Ideas, a cross border investment group headed by Charles Chen which specialises on Australian investments to the Philippines. A recent project is the partnership with the Kiwanis Club International in a pilot with three public schools in the Antipolo, Rizal province. Current efforts are being made to establish similar projects in other part of the country as well as in other member countries of ASEAN.
