Last week : Suzanne Buchele started working with other teachers in Ghana, introducing them to the XO; and upgraded her XOs to the latest stable build (after brief confusion about how to update).

Ivan is in Peru, helping them prepare for a significant deployment.

This week : Larry Weber of our PR firm ,the W2 Group, has been working to help get 100 laptops to Kliptown, South Africa. Whitney Hunter-Thomson is leaving for South Africa in a week, to prepare the ground before the laptops arrive in March. She has been boning up on OLPC ideas and implementation stories, and is visiting the offices this week. She aims to get in touch with members of OLPC South Africa before she travels, to help start a local support group there.
