===Summary of Last Few Days===
==OLPC's work in Afghanistan and the Surrounding Region==
During my last week at the OLPC office, I hope to finish up on the research components of my internship. I plan on completing the Rwanda and Ethiopia (work on Ethiopia Thursday and Friday) OLPC wiki pages so that they include a comprehensive set of information about the country’s education backgrounds, important education data, OLPC’s work on the ground, and a description of other development groups’ priorities. I will also return to edit Afghanistan, Nepal, and Haiti pages so that they reflect these changes as well. Finally, in non-research work, I have a few loose ends to tie up here at OLPC that I will work on Wednesday. These include posting tear down instructions, write additional 2 blog posts on 1.5HS, working with Paul on RTC problems, and making a wiki page on country’s education statistics (although this may have to wait until later in the week.)


Once I return from vacation on the 24th, I will dedicate the rest of my OLPC work to writing white papers for these five countries. I hope to write the papers based off of my research findings, and share them with SJ and people involved in each country. There are a variety of people I hope to connect with for feedback, including for Ethiopia (Lidet), Rwanda (Julia and Rwanda Country Director Sam Dusengiyumva), Nepal (Rabbi) Afghanistan (Mike Dawson, Salim, and Matt), and Haiti (Adam and whoever else Adam can recommend).
Since 2008, OLPC has been working with the Afghan Ministry of Education on several laptop deployment projects. To date, OLPC has committed over 5,000 laptops to fourth through sixth graders throughout the country. ''(Note: This section does not include the most up to date information; still waiting on the most up to date information which will be added in a few days.)''
It would also be great to receive feedback on my first white paper from a structural perspective by someone who has experience writing them. I will incorporate all feedback I receive and share them with the appropriate parties. At this point I am unsure about whether I will be in New Jersey or Massachusetts, but either way can work from the office or remotely. I will definitely stop by the office at some point before the school year starts.


Working at OLPC this summer has been an incredible opportunity, and after two months I feel like I’m finally getting the swing of how things work around here. I have a much better grasp of the organization’s priorities, both its own and what is looks for in international partners. I feel that my last few weeks here have been the most productive now and I am able to work at a more efficient pace. It has been wonderful getting to know the people here at OLPC, and I look forward to staying in contact with them once my time here is done. I am still excited to meet with Lidet to discuss her work in Ethiopia and explore possibilities for me to support OLPC there once I graduate. I would also love to follow up with Zehra and Shannon to talk about their work on the Middle East project and also about their experiences as new employees at OLPC. Finally, I would love to take SJ and Adam out to lunch to learn about their own stories and how they ended up at this organization. (Thanks for everything --[[User:Sj|Sj]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Sj|<font style="color:#f70; font-size:70%">talk</font>]]!)

* The [http://blog.laptop.org/2009/04/01/afghanistans-first-deployment-is-go/ first project] took place in Nigarhar province's Jalalbad city at Istiqlal High School on March 17, 2009. The school was selected due to its size and the overall positive attitude from both parents and teachers about OLPC. Following the Master training in the Paiwastoon office and a four-day teacher training, 396 XOs were handed over to the fourth through sixth graders. Roshan Telecom provided internet to the school. The laptops (which are fitted with [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Dari_Keyboard Dari keyboards]) are pre-installed with complete localization of all core activities in both Dari and Pashto, the MoE's standard national curriculum books, economic information for parents, health information, localized updated manuals, and information for parents about the laptop.


==Educational Initiatives==
*OLPC is now in its second stage of laptop deployment for fourth through sixth graders in five different schools in Kabul city. So far two schools have been approved for the deployment, including Soraya High School in Kart-e 4, Kabul City and Omeid School (also known as the Hope School) in Wazir Akbar Khan Watt, Kabul City. Soraya High School is a girl's school with some boys in grades 1-6. The Omeid School is a semi-private school where girls study in the morning and boys study in the afternoon. The OLPC team is currently working with the two schools in the preliminary stages of deployment.

    • Correspond with Mike Dawson, met with Matt and Salim
    • Afghanistan budget research for Matt; spoke with contacts at a variety of think tanks and USAID
    • Research on incorporating an NGO in Afghanistan

  • August 24-September 4: post tear down instructions, write additional 2 blog posts on 1.5HS, working on and finalizing white papers

Summary of Last Few Days

During my last week at the OLPC office, I hope to finish up on the research components of my internship. I plan on completing the Rwanda and Ethiopia (work on Ethiopia Thursday and Friday) OLPC wiki pages so that they include a comprehensive set of information about the country’s education backgrounds, important education data, OLPC’s work on the ground, and a description of other development groups’ priorities. I will also return to edit Afghanistan, Nepal, and Haiti pages so that they reflect these changes as well. Finally, in non-research work, I have a few loose ends to tie up here at OLPC that I will work on Wednesday. These include posting tear down instructions, write additional 2 blog posts on 1.5HS, working with Paul on RTC problems, and making a wiki page on country’s education statistics (although this may have to wait until later in the week.)

Once I return from vacation on the 24th, I will dedicate the rest of my OLPC work to writing white papers for these five countries. I hope to write the papers based off of my research findings, and share them with SJ and people involved in each country. There are a variety of people I hope to connect with for feedback, including for Ethiopia (Lidet), Rwanda (Julia and Rwanda Country Director Sam Dusengiyumva), Nepal (Rabbi) Afghanistan (Mike Dawson, Salim, and Matt), and Haiti (Adam and whoever else Adam can recommend). It would also be great to receive feedback on my first white paper from a structural perspective by someone who has experience writing them. I will incorporate all feedback I receive and share them with the appropriate parties. At this point I am unsure about whether I will be in New Jersey or Massachusetts, but either way can work from the office or remotely. I will definitely stop by the office at some point before the school year starts.

Working at OLPC this summer has been an incredible opportunity, and after two months I feel like I’m finally getting the swing of how things work around here. I have a much better grasp of the organization’s priorities, both its own and what is looks for in international partners. I feel that my last few weeks here have been the most productive now and I am able to work at a more efficient pace. It has been wonderful getting to know the people here at OLPC, and I look forward to staying in contact with them once my time here is done. I am still excited to meet with Lidet to discuss her work in Ethiopia and explore possibilities for me to support OLPC there once I graduate. I would also love to follow up with Zehra and Shannon to talk about their work on the Middle East project and also about their experiences as new employees at OLPC. Finally, I would love to take SJ and Adam out to lunch to learn about their own stories and how they ended up at this organization. (Thanks for everything --Sj talk!)
