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. Please join and share your ideas - we're still very much in the formative stages, so people who are eager and willing to jump in are very, very welcome.

These collaborative efforts have inspired similar OLPC initiatives nationwide.
