==The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Foundation==

The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Foundation is a non-stock, non-profit corporation registered with the Philippine Securities & Exchange Commission on 17 August 2009 (Registration No. CN200912617).


We have only one objective which is the deployment of the OLPC program in the Philippines. While our preference will be to assist public schools, we are open to work with interested private schools to deploy an OLPC program on the condition this is fully funded by the school or its donor sponsor.


Long term, we would want to share the success we have in the Philippines with the other ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) member countries. These countries currently are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam. At the moment there are existing groups in Cambodia and Malaysia.


We can assist people interested to support an OLPC project with any primary or secondary school (public or private) in the Philippines or in any ASEAN member country. Due to our limited resources available, our capability is limited to planning and organising the deployment of the proposed project. The other project requirements eg technical training and support will have to provided by other supporting partners.


For further information on the OLPC Foundation, please email Charles Chen at ideasman88@gmail.com.


Initially, please provide the following information in your email:
* The name of the proposed school and its location;
* How big is the school in terms of number of students per grade or year level;
* Is it a primary or high school;
* Does the school have any available PCs for teaching purposes;
* Does the school have someone who has technical skills in using a PC.



'''Welcome to OLPC Philippines'''
To get a project implemented with require the following resources:
* A local group in the school to train and support for using the XO laptops (these laptops are designed to run on open source software)
* A core group of teachers in the school to learn and use the laptops with the students
* A learning plan on how the XO laptop will be used as a course supplement (the learning should support the current curriculum followed by the school as approved by the Department of Education)
* A sponsor who can cover the cost of the project (each XO laptop costs over US$200)
