Hello Bryan, funny to think I could still welcome you to the wiki with this empty talk page :-) Yes, let's find a way to organize volunteering and community building. They're not quite the same, and the general volunteering page should likely cover and link out to more detailed pages on

- contributing material, 
- contributing time and expertise, 
- building local community, 
- giving presentations

and a few others.

NYOF on PBS

The US Public Broacasting System (PBS) news program NOW recently aired a very interesting program on the issue of families in western Nepal sending daughters into indentured service and the efforts of the Nepalese Youth Opportunity Foundation to end this practice through agricultural aid and education. Som Paneru was interviewed during the segment.

OLPC Nepal and OLE Nepal must be very busy with the pilots being launched, but it is always good to be aware of other local organizations with shared interests in transforming children's lives through education. Cjl 20:05, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
