100 XOs, Hardware, $10K stipend, 10-day training in Kigali, Rwanda, and an entire summer in an African country of your choice. Sound too good to be true? Well, it's not. OLPC has a revolutionary vision: an XO for every child. Crazy, right? Not crazy enough, since it's becoming a reality. Country after country, children with XOs are learning more, finding new avenues of expression, and connecting to a global network of like-minded children. But we can't achieve this dream alone, which is why we need your help in turning this idea into a global movement. Through OLPCorps Africa, we'll provide the tools and resources to get you started if you can provide the time, energy, and dedication to change the world. This is a student movement, a learning movement, an education movement...The OLPC Movement. |

We started a project in Nigeria for |

less priviledged children in Makoko rural area of Lagos, Nigeria. The project we |
|||
started now has 100 pupils and being a new project no one is funding us by now. We are |
|||
using self sporsor. Although, the Local Govt in that area gave us a premises |
|||
to conduct our day to day activities. the project is now operating in the premisess. |
|||
The illiteracy rate in this area of Lagos, Nigeria is alarmingly high |
|||
*'''Please see our project proposal we are drafting''': [[OLPCorps_IU_South_Africa]] |

We are promoting basic education and we teach the children between 6-18 years: English, computer, Maths, vocational training e.g. adire/beads making, sewing/fashion desiging, hat making and see to their well being from primary one. The name of our organisation is known as Absmat& Ayoakins Foundation For Youth Pogramme. |

Under the auspices of One Here...One There, a non-for-profit org. driven to mitigate educational disparities in sub-Saharan Africa, the Indiana University OLPC chapter is comprised of mostly liberal-arts students with an interest in alternative learning environments and international development. With technical support through the Kliptown Youth Project (KYP), the IU OLPC chapter distributed 115 XOs (15 thanks to Larry Weber) to 3 separate rural primary schools in Limpopo, South Africa from Aug-Sept '08, in addition to establishing power and internet. The team continues to support South African OLPC deployments in various ways, including its first XO Camp in Johannesburg, networking and support for future deployments, and the like. IU OLPC is applying to the OLPCorps Africa program with the hope of saturating the already participating schools in South Africa. Contact Joe Peoni (jpeoni@indiana.edu) for any questions relating to our program. IU OHOT is looking for a team member to assist in translation, specifically to/from '''Sepedi'''. |

GMin- www.gmin.org , is a dynamic international organization based on the principle that we can use minimal resources to reduce some of the world's larger problems to a minimum through well-researched and executed projects. Of course, one can think of it as the "least we can do". We work predominantly in Sierra Leone at the moment- where we have successfully carried out Malaria Eradication projects and recently, distributed about 30 XOs to a small community in Sahn Malen, Sierra Leone. GMin will apply to the OLPCorps Africa program because to us, this is one of the best ways to improve education on a grass root level. For more information, contact info@gmin.org |

A team led by socially conscious Information Science students from Cornell is planning a trip to deploy laptops in Mauritania. One team member’s brother is currently in the Peace Corps in the town of Tidjikja teaching at a primary school. We have held two meetings so far and are confident about the team that we are putting together. We have both technical expertise and a direct contact currently on the ground in our deployment area, which will remain for another year after the laptops are given out. This will enable a smooth transition for the laptop program and make sure that the program continues to succeed after the summer project is finished. We will continue to edit our proposal as more information becomes available.

PROPOSAL/MISSION/MANIFESTO: Our goal is to turn children into agents of change by empowering them with new media tools—a computer—to be citizen journalists. Using word tools and multimedia apps, we hope to get FLIP—a small, handheld camera the size of a phone—to sponsor our mission and donate 100 flips to our community so we can incorporate word, audio, and video to create a story of each child’s life that will ultimately be broadcast to other XO laptop-participating countries and the USA, promoting a global network of educated youth. An integral part of the child’s project—uploaded on a sharing site that is blog-enabled—will be to document the effect of AIDS on children and their families, with a focus on creating AIDS awareness within the community.

==== Christian Missionary Fellowship International, Guinea-Bissau ==== |
|||
We are of the CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY FELLOWSHIP INTERNATIONAL known here as COMUNIDADE MISIONARIA CRISTA INERNACIONAL. We are a faith based organization working in Guinea-Bissau since 2003. We just started a Nursery and primary school in 2007 and we are inour second year. We have been invited to start another primary school in one of the quarters of Bissaucity but we do not have the funds. |
|||
The school we started now has 285 pupils of whom 128 are on sponsorship by the Italian organization called REACH_ITALIA. Our major problem is infrastructure. We already have land just 20m from te school. The school as of now is operating in and uncompleted building. The enrollment for next accademic is projected to be high because of the availability of scholarship to the underprivileged children. We will therefore be very grateful to partner and work with you in this domain. The illiteracy rate in this country is alarmingly high. We are also promoting the English Language in this Portuguese country and we teach the children English from primary one. The name of our school as known here is FONTE DA SABEDORA. We urgently need to build classrooms and without your cooperation it will be difficult to give these unprivileged children a good education. We also want to provide them with computer literacy at the early age.The computers wll be a motivaion for learning to the best 100 pupils. The reason being that with pupils being sponsored in our school by REACH-ITALIA, some of these sponsored children refuse to attend school. Giving them computers as prices will motivate them to attend school. Girls will be given priority so as to promote girls educaton which remains a problem in this country due to early and forced marriage and other cultural practices. |

====Positive Planet==== |

We are a team of students from the University of Pennsylvania interested in working in a rural region of southwest Cameroon to improve education. We know that a better education for youth leads to a better and stronger community. With the OLPCorps we will have the opportunity to partner with the United Action for Children, a NGO that works with rural English speaking communities between Mamfe and Buea in Cameroon. The main school of the UAC is the Jamadianle School in Buea which serves a growing population of 615 elementary school students. Collaborating with the UAC we have developed a series of projects related to computer literacy and education that will be implemented this summer to enhance their mission and continue their goals of providing a strong education and community center for this rural region. |
|||
Please see our updated Wiki page: [[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPCorps_RHIT_IU_CU_Uganda]] for our newest proposal and information. Thank you! |
|||
We are a non-profit organization that based in New York City and in the Rakai and Masaka Districts in Uganda that creates partnerships between the US and Ugandan schools. Our primary goals are to improve the educational infrastructure of the Ugandan schools and to have the US students see that they can make a positive impact on the world. Over the past 6 years we've raised about $90,000, all of which has been used to build classrooms, water tanks, sanitation facilities, desks, repair roofs, and other similar projects that have affected close to 3,000 Ugandan students. |
|||
We have encouraged our students to communicate through pen pal letters but feel it would be much more powerful and a lot quicker if the communication could be through e-mail. We were planning to seek old computer donations and try to set up a computer lab at one of the schools this summer. We just heard about the OLPC program and are very excited about the possibilities of it really impacting our communities. We have strong roots in the community and believe the work could succeed. We would love to talk to a team of students interested in putting together a quick proposal and working with us. Please see www.positiveplanet.net for more info (check out the on-line films in the Zoom In section). Please contact me directly at mgreene@positiveplanet.net to talk if you are interested. |

'''Proposal'''<br /> |
|||
We are a team of three international master’s students in KTH, Sweden. We are applying for the OLPCorp Africa project in order to deploy XOs in a small primary school called Yekatit 23 found in the town of Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. Since all the team members are originally from Ethiopia, we will have no obstacle related to language barriers and luck of local knowledge. Our understanding of various problems in education present in developing countries is not a mere theory, rather it is more of a personal experience that we all have undergone through and it’s something that we would like to change. Our local knowledge and experience couples well with our technical background in IT as noted in the [[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPCorps_KTH_ETHIOPIA about us section]]. |
|||
So far we had three meetings, and we have answered questions related to identifying deployment location and appropriate local partners and determining how we should localize existing contents and create new services. Currently we are working on other practical issues including budgeting and establishing a formal agreement with our local partners. Specifically, we are working towards convincing the Ethiopian Engineering Capacity Building Program (ECBP), which deployed around 5000 XOs in the year 2007(see [OLPC_Ethiopia]), to be our local partner. So far the main challenge has been getting the initial contacts in ECBP. The next obvious thing to do will be to demonstrate how our small sized deployment could be part of previous deployments. In order to facilitate this, we are receiving appreciable support from our colleagues at Bahir Dar University and from Yekatit 23 primary school. |

I have the technical know-how of a computer science student, but with an understanding of the social implications of technology. I am well versed in computer technology and can help with any technical tasks. I am a strong supporter of the OLPC endeavor and would sincerely love to do my part to bridge the gap. Shoot me an email at mstoller@umich.edu. |

*: I will graduate from the University of North Carolina - Asheville in May 2009. I'm currently 22 and a Multimedia Arts & Sciences major with a concentration in interactive design. Last semester, I studied abroad and traveled around the world. It was an experience that has changed my perspective. OLPCorps would be a culmination of my skills and values. I speak English and a bit of Spanish. I'm looking to be part of a 2009 team. Please email me (tangelos2@hotmail.com). |

*: Hi. Im a student at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia and Im really intersted in finding a partner to work with on this project. I speak english, french and portuguese so Im quite open with regard to choosing a country but I would prefer a portuguese speaking country because I feel like they are generally underserved. Please contact me at rnakhid@agnesscott.edu, 443-600-5180 |

* '''Bryant Lee''' |
|||
*: I am potentially interested in doing this. I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. I already have a Master's degree in CS from the same university. I would love to get involved in spreading technology and creating social impact, but I don't have a team or local partners as of yet. Let me know. Personal homepage with my email address: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~bryantl/ |
|||
* '''Prabhas Pokharel''' |
|||
*: I am very interested in doing this as well. I am a graduating senior in Computer Science at Harvard University, and am planning on working with technologies in the developing world in the future. I have an XO at home, and have played with them, and I know some of the specifics, but I'm planning on having my enthusiasm and technical experience push me forward. I'm really interested in the logistics and nature of getting to people with technology, and not just the technology, although I'm not sure I know a lot about this already. Contact welcomed. http://prabhasp.com. pokharel AT fas harvard edu |

* '''Martin Mohr Olsen''' |
|||
*: I am 27 and a student at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, doing a joint honors in International Relations and Sociology. I am a 1st year undergrad, but am currently working on research for my Masters thesis which will involve the OLPC. I am not a programmer and I do lack knowledge of Sugar, but I am still very computer literate. I am interested in the teaching/learning aspects of the OLPC (and computers in general), and intend to base my thesis on how best to utilize open-source software and open hardware in the creation of a curriculum. I would be very interested in the logistics, fundraising and preperations for this trip. If possible, I would like to bring a second member starting her bachelors in Nutrition and Public Health this summer. My blog is at: http://www.mohrolsen.com and my mail is mohrolsen@gmail.com. Give me a ring! |
|||
* '''Eric Anderson''' |
|||
*: I am a 21-year-old 3rd year student studying English, Informatics, and Global Business at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, though I am at Bristol University, UK until this summer. While I've never gotten my hands on an XO, I've published writing about 'em, and have been seeking an opportunity to practice what I've preached. This looks like it! I have worked with children on sustainable green construction in Guatemala, and have written a bit to assist with [http://www.longwayhomeinc.org/ Long Way Home's] advertising and fundraising. Off the top of my head, I am interested in using the XO to empower children through organized sports, fluency in New Media, AIDS education, and green initiatives, but I'm up for anything. I am currently applying for funding through my Honors college, so all I need is a team! I'm buddied up with one other, a Master's student in D.C., and we're looking to join together if possible. My travel writing and New Media blog is http://ericsblog6.blogspot.com/ . I know time's ticking, so shoot me a message at eranderson6@gmail.com. |

*'''Adrienne Rogers''' |
|||
*: I am a 24 year old 1st year graduate student studying Social Work at The University of Tennessee. I have just heard about this project and would love to get involved with a team. I am very interested in international development and social justice issues, and think the OLPC program is a great way to get involved in these things at a grassroots level. I am also really interested in what OLPC is doing for education and empowerment for the children that are receiving the laptops. I see this as not only an opportunity to allow 100 children to receive a resource that will benefit them in many ways, but also as an opportunity to partner with some like-minded people that I can learn from and have fun with along the way. I do not have a ton of technical experience, but can offer leadership, networking, and creativity skills. I am organized and efficient, love coming up with ideas, making goals, and being part of a group. I would also bring experience in working with and training youth, working with volunteers, event planning, and some grant writing. There is not much time left, so please let me know ASAP if you are interested in another member for your team! '''rogers.adrienne@gmail.com''' Thanks and good luck! |

*'''Becca Nelson''' |
|||
*: I am a 23 year old graduate student studying communications/business at Rochester Institute of Technology. My final capstone is a technical document explaining how to make a solar powered computer center--to write it, I am staying in Kijabe, Kenya. I've made many connections in Kenya on my multiple trips and volunteer adventures---several organizations come to mind who could use 100 laptops, so i'm hoping to find teams to help them out AND to join or create another. I can offer African experience, communications and writing, project management/organizational abilities. Thanks for reading! '''nelson.rebecca@gmail.com''' . |

*'''Jeremy Pesner''' |
|||
*: I am a graduating Computer Science major at Dickinson College. Last summer, I did research into Educational Gaming in Immunology at the University of South Carolina. A fellow major from Dickinson also came to USC and did work with the OLPC, developing what also turned out to be an educational game. We both submitted papers detailing our work to ACM and were accepted to the ACMSE conference of '09. I am looking to either continue development on this game by porting it to the OLPC, or else create an entirely new one centered around teaching different knowledge and skills. The other major is also interested, but owing to the schedule of his classes abroad cannot attend the orientation dates (which means we'd need at least a third partner so that two can attend the orientation). If this sounds appealing to either fellow students or local partners, please contact me at '''pesnerj@dickinson.edu'''. |

*'''Markos Gobena''' |
|||
*: I am a graduate student in Intelligent Systems Design at Chalmers University of Technology,Sweden. I am originally from Ethiopia and I have lots of interest to get involved with a group and help out children in my country. I know the ins and outs while it comes to deployment of such projects in my country and that could be a tip for the team. I have also managed to create contact with a local NGO that is willing to help in the same regard. I am now looking for a partner who would like to join me with the rest of the stuff... please contact me at '''markos@student.chalmers.se'''. |

Trees for Clean Energy Network has been working with schools and communities to promote environmental Education. This project of OLPCorps will open up Africa since it will give opportunity to African child to tell their story, learn more about health, environment and development. This will also enable the children exchange ideas and learn from children outside Kenya. Currently almost all children under 12 years have no idea of what is a computer and even their Teachers. I look forward to working with one of Corps in Magoso school and assisting him or her to develop this great idea to children of Magoso school. |

I am Gloria Masanza and i work as a sub-editor at a privately -owned radio station in Malawi, Central Africa. I have a friend working with the American Peace Corps in the country and she told me about the one laptop per child program. I have become so fascinated with the program since she told me, and we are working to link up with an organisation which is already working on children's rights. So I would like to know how we can get the intern teams visit us and see what we can do for our children. There are a lot of children here in Malawi who cannot even explain what a computer is, and over 90 percent of Malawi's children have never seen a computer, so this may just be a stepping stone, to the future. |

==== Mantsase Children's Home (Lesotho) ==== |
|||
Mantsase Children’s Home is an orphanage started in 1979, in Lesotho. Traditionally, children whose parents have died are taken in by the extended family. With the advent of the AIDS pandemic this has become impossible. In a country of 1.8 million people, there are an estimated 400,000 orphans. Extended families do not have the money and the resources to care for all of the children after their parents have died. Mantsase is an orphanage dedicated to providing a feeling of home and stability to the children who live here. We currently have 55 children. We are hoping to eventually open a computer lab for our children and for the children in the local village, to teach basic computer skills. We would be interested in working with interested partners. Look us up online at [http://www.mantsasechildrenshome.org Mantsase Children's Home] or search for Mantsase Children’s Home on facebook. |

===Ecole Internationale Bujumbura (EIB), Bujumbura, Burundi=== |
|||
Ecole Internationale Bujumbura (EIB) is located in the capital of [[Burundi]] and consists of some 1200 students ranging in age 5-18. The school has consistently been ranked as one of the top performing/highest achieving schools in the nation and acted as a refuge for children during the decade long war. Currently, the school is without a single computer that is accessible to the student body. Computer access in Bujumbura as a whole is very limited and with Burundi’s recent induction into the Africa Union, English and the expanse of technology skills have been in high demand. The school’s goal is to create a high-tech and functioning computer lab, which will be accessible by both the students and the surrounding community to provide the necessary skills and knowledge to compete and succeed in an ever-growing computer based global economy, workforce, and education system. The school is also active and willing to work with the surrounding community, schools, and orphanages to allow for equal and necessary access to computers and personal/intellectual/social growth. I (Tyler, an English teacher at EIB and a recent college graduate) will personally be able to help in the process of organizing, teaching and working with the surrounding community. Accommodations can be arranged. The school and I are open for all suggestions and possibilities in terms of distributing and conducting the education process and sustainability of the venture. If interested and/or for further information please contact me at: tyler.j.hook@gmail.com. |

*Note: [[Burundi]] is a French and Kirundi speaking country. Fluency in one or both is beneficial but not necessary. Many of the students, teachers, and members of the surrounding community are competent in English. |

The 2009 application period is closed.
Welcome to OLPCorps, a new student-based, grassroots OLPC initiative.
Email us for any questions about the program: OLPCorps@laptop.org
Can't find what you're looking for below? Try our Frequently Asked Questions page.
- Notice there's room for discussing things in the Talk Page
- We've posted a notice asking for comments. Please help translate it and pass it on. If you want to get involved in a support role, please see our Support Committee page.
About OLPCorps
100 XOs, Hardware, $10K stipend, 10-day training in Kigali, Rwanda, and an entire summer in an African country of your choice. Sound too good to be true? Well, it's not. OLPC has a revolutionary vision: an XO for every child. Crazy, right? Not crazy enough, since it's becoming a reality. Country after country, children with XOs are learning more, finding new avenues of expression, and connecting to a global network of like-minded children. But we can't achieve this dream alone, which is why we need your help in turning this idea into a global movement. Through OLPCorps Africa, we'll provide the tools and resources to get you started if you can provide the time, energy, and dedication to change the world. This is a student movement, a learning movement, an education movement...The OLPC Movement.
Eligibility & Requirements
- Undergraduate or graduate students from all fields of study and nationalities are eligible to apply. Students entering university in fall '10 or graduating in spring '10 are also eligible to participate.
- English fluency is required.
- Minimum number of people in a team is 2.
- At least 2 team members must be present in Kigali, Rwanda in June (dates TBA) for a 10 day training workshop with the OLPC Learning Team. Teams will then depart for their specific destination.
- Deployments must occur within one of the African countries. Preference will be given to deployments in rural areas.
- Minimum of 9-10 weeks commitment (the duration of your summer break).
- Each team member must have their immunizations.
- Each team member must hold a valid passport.
- Each team member is responsible for acquiring a visa, if needed.
- 1 member of each team will participate in a workshop at MIT/OLPC in Cambridge this October 10-12 (all expenses covered by OLPC).
How to Write a Project Proposal
Thinking about starting your proposal? Not sure where to start? This section should answer some of your questions. Don't be afraid to ask questions & collaborate - we're better as a team. Keep in mind, up to 100 teams are receiving 100 XOs each.
In the end, all teams will be working together for 10 days in Kigali before deploying. Our goal is to form a network of African deployments which support learning for years to come. Although the application for 2010 is not yet open, consider the following suggestions we've outlined below before writing your proposal.
Proposal formatting:
- Proposals must be in English.
- Length of Proposal must not exceed 750 words.
- Hyper-linked text is allowed throughout the proposal.
Proposal contents:
- Answer the basics: who, what, when, where. Most importantly, KEEP IT CONCISE AND DIRECTLY TO THE POINT.
- How will you work with children? Are the children in school from June-August? Are they on break? Address how you will deal with children and learning with their schedule.
- Who is the local partner? How will you follow-up? Partner with groups capable of maintaining the deployment after you leave. Is there an academic institution, NGO, community organization, etc. willing to oversee the project after August? Do you have family ties in the community? What's going to happen when you leave?
- Include a letter of support from the local partner (this doesn't count towards your 750 word limit). Make sure you show that together you're capable of handling the receipt of a 230 kg package of laptops and equipment. Where will you store the equipment during the deployment?
- How will this impact 6-12 yr old children? All proposals must be about kids 6-12 years old and their learning. A proposal gets stronger as soon as the group can show that children are the agents of change, not just the objects of teaching.
- Incorporate the OLPCorps Learning Guide into your project proposal.
- Stick to OLPC's Core Principles: child ownership, low ages, saturation, connection, and free and open source.
- Describe your project's financial needs. As an attachment (that doesn't count towards the 750 word limit), provide a brief budget for the project. Include travel costs (to Kigali and your deployment community), housing for 9 weeks (can your local partner help here?), and other project-related expenses. Remember that OLPC will only grant up to $10,000 and that you do not need to include XOs, accessories, or Kigali accommodations in your budget. If you have a creative project-based idea that needs funding, let us know.
- Be realistic with your budget. It will determine how much money you'll receive.
- But also be economical where possible. If we think a team's budget is wasteful or unrealistic, we will consider that in evaluating the proposal.
- How will you provide financial support after you leave? OLPC is dedicating significant time and resources to create learning environments throughout Africa! How can you show that your team can provide financial support after you leave?
- Research your university's grant programs, student associations, alumni networks, and other avenues of funding to sustain your deployment.
- Communication - do you share the language of the school or community where you will be working? If not, how will this be overcome?
Note: Upon acceptance, you will be asked to provide proof as a student. This will be verified by the dean of your department, for instance.
Publishing Project Proposals
As you develop your team's project proposal, you should post it to the wiki. This is the only way the OLPCorps team and the OLPC community can provide feedback for your proposal before the submission deadline. Please note: you still must e-mail your proposal as described above by March 27th. Below are the steps to publish your Project Proposal wiki page:
- Step 1: Create your own project proposal wiki page
- In your web browser, type in the following URL, being sure to replace your University Name and Deployment Country in the template. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPCorps_UniversityName_DeploymentCountry. Then click on "Create."
- Example: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPCorps_IU_South_Africa.
- Step 2: Enter your information in the newly created wiki page. Click on the "Edit" tab of different wiki pages (especially OLPCorps examples and this page) to see how to write and format the wiki.
- Step 3: Connect your Project Proposal to the main OLPCorps wiki page (this page). In your short summary below, type the following to link your Project Proposal to this site: OLPCorps_UniversityName_Deployment Country, which should be the same format as your Project Proposal URL.
If you are not comfortable using the wiki for publishing a draft of your proposal for feedback, drafts may be emailed to olpcorpsdrafts@gmail.com, and we will post it to the wiki for you. Note that this is not the address to send your final proposal submission.
OLPCorps Applicants
The OLPCorps application for 2010 is not yet open.
Below will be a regularly updated list of teams across the globe applying to OLPCorps Africa. Missing a key component to your proposal's design? Need a technical lead? Need a pedagogical lead? Working in an off-grid environment? Here's your chance to partner up with like-minded students to change the world. Power in numbers, right?

Margaret Musa, Absmat&Ayoakins Foundation For Youth Pogramme, Nigeria
We started a project in Nigeria for less priviledged children in Makoko rural area of Lagos, Nigeria. The project we started now has 100 pupils and being a new project no one is funding us by now. We are using self sporsor. Although, the Local Govt in that area gave us a premises to conduct our day to day activities. the project is now operating in the premisess.

NGOs
Christian Missionary Fellowship International, Guinea-Bissau
We are of the CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY FELLOWSHIP INTERNATIONAL known here as COMUNIDADE MISIONARIA CRISTA INERNACIONAL. We are a faith based organization working in Guinea-Bissau since 2003. We just started a Nursery and primary school in 2007 and we are inour second year. We have been invited to start another primary school in one of the quarters of Bissaucity but we do not have the funds.
The school we started now has 285 pupils of whom 128 are on sponsorship by the Italian organization called REACH_ITALIA. Our major problem is infrastructure. We already have land just 20m from te school. The school as of now is operating in and uncompleted building. The enrollment for next accademic is projected to be high because of the availability of scholarship to the underprivileged children. We will therefore be very grateful to partner and work with you in this domain. The illiteracy rate in this country is alarmingly high. We are also promoting the English Language in this Portuguese country and we teach the children English from primary one. The name of our school as known here is FONTE DA SABEDORA. We urgently need to build classrooms and without your cooperation it will be difficult to give these unprivileged children a good education. We also want to provide them with computer literacy at the early age.The computers wll be a motivaion for learning to the best 100 pupils. The reason being that with pupils being sponsored in our school by REACH-ITALIA, some of these sponsored children refuse to attend school. Giving them computers as prices will motivate them to attend school. Girls will be given priority so as to promote girls educaton which remains a problem in this country due to early and forced marriage and other cultural practices.
I am Pastor Kum Frederick Alang and the administrator of COMUNIDADE MISSIONARIA CRISTA INTERNACIONAL.
The project name is ESCOLA FONTE DA SABEDORIA, construction of classrooms.

Positive Planet
Please see our updated Wiki page: [[1]] for our newest proposal and information. Thank you!
We are a non-profit organization that based in New York City and in the Rakai and Masaka Districts in Uganda that creates partnerships between the US and Ugandan schools. Our primary goals are to improve the educational infrastructure of the Ugandan schools and to have the US students see that they can make a positive impact on the world. Over the past 6 years we've raised about $90,000, all of which has been used to build classrooms, water tanks, sanitation facilities, desks, repair roofs, and other similar projects that have affected close to 3,000 Ugandan students.
We have encouraged our students to communicate through pen pal letters but feel it would be much more powerful and a lot quicker if the communication could be through e-mail. We were planning to seek old computer donations and try to set up a computer lab at one of the schools this summer. We just heard about the OLPC program and are very excited about the possibilities of it really impacting our communities. We have strong roots in the community and believe the work could succeed. We would love to talk to a team of students interested in putting together a quick proposal and working with us. Please see www.positiveplanet.net for more info (check out the on-line films in the Zoom In section). Please contact me directly at mgreene@positiveplanet.net to talk if you are interested.

Trees for Clean Energy Network and Magoso School
Trees for Clean Energy Network has been working with schools and communities to promote environmental Education. This project of OLPCorps will open up Africa since it will give opportunity to African child to tell their story, learn more about health, environment and development. This will also enable the children exchange ideas and learn from children outside Kenya. Currently almost all children under 12 years have no idea of what is a computer and even their Teachers. I look forward to working with one of Corps in Magoso school and assisting him or her to develop this great idea to children of Magoso school.
Radio Station in Malawi
Hi, I am Gloria Masanza and i work as a sub-editor at a privately -owned radio station in Malawi, Central Africa. I have a friend working with the American Peace Corps in the country and she told me about the one laptop per child program. I have become so fascinated with the program since she told me, and we are working to link up with an organisation which is already working on children's rights. So I would like to know how we can get the intern teams visit us and see what we can do for our children. There are a lot of children here in Malawi who cannot even explain what a computer is, and over 90 percent of Malawi's children have never seen a computer, so this may just be a stepping stone, to the future. My e-mail is gmasanza@yahoo.com.

Kijabe Primary School (Kenya)
My name's Becca Nelson and I'm currently living in Kijabe Kenya working with Kenyakidscan.org. There is a rural kenyan school nearby that would benefit deeply from 100 laptops--and has an infrastructure in place to handle the years following your team's departure. In addition, there is a school of about 120 children in Nairobi (slum area) that also would benefit and has accountable, technical people in the vicinity.
Let me know if you're looking for a kenyan adventure. :). thanks! nelson.rebecca@gmail.com.
The Ungana Foundation
As a result of the 1994 genocide, Rwanda gained one million new orphans, still surviving today as the potential new leaders of Rwanda's future. Orphaned children around the world face many obstacles including depression, lack of home support, minimal education, and hindered self-development. Starting June 2009, the UNGANA Foundation seeks to alleviate these odds by introducing 'Goals for Goals' to the ambitious youth of Gisenyi, Rwanda. Utilizing developmentally responsive activities, the 'Goals for Goals' program creates a space where Rwandan children can express creativity and voice and empowers the children with the life skills necessary to improve their own circumstances.
The Ungana Foundation is working on setting up an OLPCorps program in Rwanda for Summer 2009, but we need help - notably with IT setup and long-term funding. Please contact Ashley Linford, Programs Associate for more information at: ashley@unganafoundation.org

Madagascar School Project
The Madagascar School Project is a small NGO based in Alexandria, Canada. In October 2008, we opened our elementary school in the rural village of Ambatoharanana, Madagascar. In a culture where a child's potential is often minimalized, the school has validated them as contributing members of their society. It is amazing how in such a short period of time, the children (and hence their community) have grown in terms of knowledge and new attitudes. Imagine what more could be accomplished if each student was provided with an XO to engage the global community and to equipe them with skills to ensure their competency in a world increasingly entwined with technology. For more information on the MSP, please visit www.madagascarschoolproject.com. If you are a team or individual seeking affiliation with an NGO and our work and philosophy are of interest to you, please contact me, Joseline Beaulieu, at holycatfish@sympatico.ca . I'd love to hear from you. The MSP may be a small organization but we can provide a team with excellent support. Thank-you for your interest. Hope to hear from someone soon.

My name is Dave Hall, an individual volunteer working with eduWeavers.org (of San Rafael, CA) and eSibonisweni Primary School (27° 4'14" S, 32°28'13"E) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa to implement an initial 80 XOs and an internet link at the school.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psF_Yh0U9c4
On behalf of the headmaster of the school, Mr. Jubilee Tembe, I would like to extend an invitation to teams seeking a rural school destination to help further develop the project. Over the next few weeks I will be conducting a video survey of all the surrounding schools in the district for the purpose of developing a "pull-oriented" community-wide scale-up proposal and a visual database of candidate schools to help eduWeavers.org build their school-2-school programme. As an individual I will be available in a local ground support role, acting as guide, assisting with video documentation, liasing between community and local education authorities and helping to make your project as lasting success.

Mantsase Children's Home (Lesotho)
Mantsase Children’s Home is an orphanage started in 1979, in Lesotho. Traditionally, children whose parents have died are taken in by the extended family. With the advent of the AIDS pandemic this has become impossible. In a country of 1.8 million people, there are an estimated 400,000 orphans. Extended families do not have the money and the resources to care for all of the children after their parents have died. Mantsase is an orphanage dedicated to providing a feeling of home and stability to the children who live here. We currently have 55 children. We are hoping to eventually open a computer lab for our children and for the children in the local village, to teach basic computer skills. We would be interested in working with interested partners. Look us up online at Mantsase Children's Home or search for Mantsase Children’s Home on facebook.
Schools
Ecole Internationale Bujumbura (EIB), Bujumbura, Burundi
Ecole Internationale Bujumbura (EIB) is located in the capital of Burundi and consists of some 1200 students ranging in age 5-18. The school has consistently been ranked as one of the top performing/highest achieving schools in the nation and acted as a refuge for children during the decade long war. Currently, the school is without a single computer that is accessible to the student body. Computer access in Bujumbura as a whole is very limited and with Burundi’s recent induction into the Africa Union, English and the expanse of technology skills have been in high demand. The school’s goal is to create a high-tech and functioning computer lab, which will be accessible by both the students and the surrounding community to provide the necessary skills and knowledge to compete and succeed in an ever-growing computer based global economy, workforce, and education system. The school is also active and willing to work with the surrounding community, schools, and orphanages to allow for equal and necessary access to computers and personal/intellectual/social growth. I (Tyler, an English teacher at EIB and a recent college graduate) will personally be able to help in the process of organizing, teaching and working with the surrounding community. Accommodations can be arranged. The school and I are open for all suggestions and possibilities in terms of distributing and conducting the education process and sustainability of the venture. If interested and/or for further information please contact me at: tyler.j.hook@gmail.com.
- Note: Burundi is a French and Kirundi speaking country. Fluency in one or both is beneficial but not necessary. Many of the students, teachers, and members of the surrounding community are competent in English.
